<p>I agree with most of what SimpleLife said in post #30. </p>
<p>Even so, the older you are, the less disturbing any age difference becomes. For example, if you were 50, no-one would care that your boyfriend is 69. That’s because your experiences tend to be less life-changing as you get older – in other words, things even out, and the development and the maturity of the younger person are no longer an issue.</p>
<p>In my opinion, once both of you are over 25, the age difference won’t be such a big deal.</p>
