well my mother is 35 and her boyfriend is 21 . i dont have a problem with it i mean he is closer in age to being my boyfriend and thats actually how they met , i met him and introduced them and i lost interest and they jus kept talking to each other eeryday untill she was crying all the time and it was because she was in love with him and didnt know what to do she feels its wrong. i see them talk and talk everyday for hours they never stop talking and its been like this for a year,they dont live together yet but he is planning to move in around febuary.
she is afraid because she is 35 that when she is 50 he will be 35 and leave her for a woman his age or younger .
they have so much in common ,love talking with each other and i have heard them talking sexually (thin walla and yea ewwww) but they seem to click in all the right ways,stil she cries sometimes because she is so much older and is afraid that when he tells his parents that he is actually dateing the mother and not the daughter that they will flip and try to make him end it , he hasent told his parentshes a colledge student and lives at home.
do you think it should matter,she also cries because she cant have chldren anymore but she has a 3 year almost 4 year old and he adores her . i think she should stop crying and accept that all men arent like my father that all ont cheat and leave , but she is so scared that the age difference will ruin things in the future.... how can i reassure her that it is ok?

That's a tough situation. It really depends on your mom. If she feels like she's in love with the guy and trusts him then she should consider pursuing a relationship. I can understand that she would be afraid of cheating, but if she's really in love with the guy it may be worth the risk. Try to size up the guy's character and see if he seems faithful. You may have clearer judgement than your mom since you're not in love with the guy. I hope it all works out.

I was married to a women 12 yrs older than me. We married when I was 25. Divorced at 37, the age differences in life changes yes make a huge difference. I'm 39 now, is your mom hot? You are, but too young for me. I wouldn't mind taking a peek at your mom though if she's available.

Your mother's behavior is clear sign of insecurity and of rejection by family and friends.
All she needs is your support.Just show her that you approve of everything and she has your support.
Well if the age difference doesn't bother them and you, why bother about others.

Age difference doesnt matter dear.Your mom has seen life and knows what she wants. I feel its the guy you shud be worried abt cos at just 21 he is too inexperienced to get along with her and few years downthe line he may feel that the relationship is getting in the way of his goals in life and he may wanna get out of it.wont ur mom feel worse then than now..so u need to be sure.Also see if this guy is really worth trusting does he go out and date/sleep with other girls.If yes then he's probably just a gold digger
