I'm sorry but what's the problem in the relationship? So what if he is younger. You're both over 18 and happy. People will get over the age difference so unless you're a slave to peer pressure, get over it.

who cares? if he doesn't care, you shouldn't either!

you're almost 30, but that means he's almost 24 or 25ish...i could see a 6 year age gap being huge if one of you were still in your teens or if you were both at very different points in your careers...but if you have similar goals then there's no problem...you're both in your mid to late 20s that that's totally compatible in my books

I agree with Zivanod. Consider yourself lucky that you've found someone who makes you this happy.

Six years is no big deal. I am 14 years younger than my husband, a different race, and 7 inches taller. Love is love is love.

With the age difference in my marriage, the biggest problem we run into are cultural gap. I am not as literate in old Star Trek, the bands of the 70s, and the politics of the Jimmy Carter era as he is. With just 6 years, you won't have that problem.

SKG: Not literate in old Star Trek? Oh, hun. Love can overcome everything except Star Trek,lol.

To the OP, is you are both happy, and both have the same ideas of what you want, who cares? Just go and be happy, life is too short to break up with someone because of something as subjective as age.

Totally, Smacks. I have watched so much of it at this point, it's silly. But then again, I've also made him watch almost every episode of "The Hills," so I think it's fair.

who cares!!! if you both feel comfortable with each other, and in love, then its ok!! as long as you both are happy and on the same level, then so be it!! good luck to the both of you!!

Not a big deal. I know couples who are 7 and 8 years apart who are happily married and get along great. I think when you get to around the 10 year age difference there might be somewhat of a generation gap. But it depends on the people involved and their maturity level. I even know a married couple who have a 20 year age difference and they are expecting their first child! But a 6 year age difference is nothing. P.S. Almost 30 is not old.

marry him and have lots of babies!

Not a big deal. My mom is 11 years older than her boyfriend, and they've been together for almost 20 years. If you two are happy, then that's all that should matter.

If you genuinely are in love with this man, and are compatible in every other way I don't see why this should be a problem, and people who say it is a problem...well, their opinion shouldn't matter anyway.

Age is only a number (in most cases). If you are happy and he makes you happy, then, who cares if you are six years older. You already have what it really matters. Don’t throw something away that it is so hard to find just because a number. Enjoy your relationship, and marry that guy for God sakes!

You should relax and enjoy yourself. As long as you're both happy then that's all that should matter. Forget the gap, it's not that big of one anyway.

I am you! but backwards. I am only 20 (i know i know) and my boyfriend is turning 29 at the end of the year.

MY family was shocked by it at first, but if anyone really gets yo know us and our relationship, they realize how good for each other we are. I am sure this is the same situation for you. As soon as they see how perfect you are together they will no longer care about the age difference. it's not like you're 40 and he's 22.

I'm in a similar situation. These comments made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Age really is just a number. It's the people involved that matter.

Age aint nothing but a number sweetie

i thought you had an actualyl big age difference. 6 Years??? that's it??? If you were 24 and he was a freshmen in college, that's one thing but your both over 21. Heck i'm not even 21 yet but i don't see the big difference.

I think age isn't a big deal. My mother is 39 my father is 47 (been happily married for 20 years), my aunt is 52 her husband is 79 (been happily married for 27 years). Who cares what people think, as long as you two are happy that's all that should matter.

Age isn't a big deal, you shouldn't let the way others feel dictate the way you feel. You both love each other and make each other happy then that's all that matters.

What's the problem? When I first saw the heading I thought there was about a 30+ year age gap!

I'd want to lose these "others" that are pointing out the differences in age. You're really not too many years apart. And honey, 30 isn't old.

"He's crazy about me and I'm wild about him."

What's the problem then?

Its no big deal!!!!!

Oh wow! I am exactly in the same situation. He is 24 and I am 29. Add to that we are different race. He has been asking me out for the last 2 years... and now I have fallen in love with him, and I am nervous. He is very bright, loving and caring but lacks experience in relationships and "independant living". God help us. Good luck to you!
