I'm 19yrs old and I finished high school, my boyfrend is 29. Our relationship seems pretty normal like any other. I'm very happy with him but my frenz always tell me that I'm dumb to think I'm the only one because why would a man that age commit to someone who barely just left high school? Are they right??

You are getting closer where the age does not matter, a man 10 years older is not that uncommon, I am 10 years older than my wife,

It is just worst as you were younger, He was in grade school when you were born, he was graduating high school when you were in grade school. And so on, at you 30 and he is 40, no one even blinks twice

Do u like him?
Is he kind?
Is he sweet?
Do u like being around him?
If you said yes to most or all of these questions then it shouldn't matter what your friends think or about the age because don't let one go that you know you will regret!

Yes, I don't think that's fair to generalize him like that. It's about what you think.

I am with Fr. Chuck on this. I am 9 years younger than my husband. But that does not make him love me any less. As time goes by the age gap becomes less and less important. Follow your heart.

My question is how long have you been with him and whether you have been intimate. If you only started dating recently, then I don't see a problem. But if you have been dating for 3 or more years and have been intimate for that time, alarm bells go off.
