You got to have trust in her and confidence in yourself. Try to make some good communication with her about you and her and try in a way to see how she feels for you. You have also be secure.

My husband is 11 years older than me. We have been together for 30 years. I love him very much. The inside, the heart, the soul, is where my love is with him. I see the age difference at times, He is 70, but, I don't care. He is the man I love, and will cherish and stay with until the good Lord takes one of us home. Do not worry, as your women sounds like she also, is very much in love with you. Time will only bond you closer and closer. Be happy today as things are my friend. She loves you, and that is a great gift.

Okay, let;'s look at it from another angle. Suppose your partner got into an accident tomorrow and lost use of her legs (sorry for the awful thought) becoming somewhat of a burden. Would you stay or leave? My guess is that you would stay because of your lover for her. You have to trust that her love for you is just as strong and can overcome everything.

My husband and I are six years apart and still very happy. But my sister is 42 and her husband is 81. She had a lot of guff when they started to go out together. The family wasn't at all happy. But she went with her heart. They decided to get married and had talked out all the things about will you still want me when I am old and gray. My sister eased all of his concerns and they faced the family together. They got married and have just celebrated another anniversary. They are very happy together and one can't imagine being without the other. When you are looking inside of a person the outer shell just doesn't matter. When you are soul mates the age thing just doesn't come into play. Those my friend are my sisters words.

When I was in college, I briefly dated a teaching assistant who was 11 years older than I. Other than that, I have been (for 10+ years) with someone 8 years older than I. And no, I don't have a "thing" for older women.... :-D The only comment that really comes to my mind is that an age difference matters less and less, the older you were when the relationship begins. A 15 year difference between 18 and 33 is COMPLETELY different from a 15 year difference between 35 and 50. I have actually met couples where the youthful "older" person seemed younger than their "mature" younger partner. I guess my point is that every couple is different. Physical age differences matter less for those who have similar "emotional/intellectual" ages. The biggest challenge, often, falls on the older partner (and if you want to send me hate mail for this, I understand!)... in keeping their insecurities about "being too old" at bay. I have been with someone who'd say "You hate me, because I'm too OLD!" and it is NOT much fun to be around...
