invinciblemuse: I have some follow-up questions since you're planning to get married so soon:
Does he live in your country? It's not just a crazy CS romance, is it??
And do those, who are against this union, have concerns other than the age gap??
sorry... i missed this quote.
its not CS romance...i dont met him online. he's not livin here...but we meet regularly once in 2 weeks. yes...some concerns...but its all about age gap. nothing more.
im 34 yo, and im dating a 67 yo man from england. we've been seeing each other for a while, and we r happy with each other. we fit well, and want something serious... the problem is, my mother seems not like the idea...she's worry with my bf's age, n hate to think im too young for him. as i live in a village, people also talk about it, n says some 'negative' things about the age difference n culture difference. just some opinion please... how to make it works... i need more confidence to work it out better, since i know i want him too, as much as he want me ...:)
What you should do if you think what your doing is right is ignor what anyone else say's and do what you think is best. If the man loves you and you him then what does age matter. The truth there is they may not like the idea your with a much older man, nor may they like the idea that you might have relations with him, but if you think it's right then who else has a say your 34 not ten, it's nothing to do with other people no one can say a thing after all didn't your mum marry the person she loved, she may be afraid that you'll be hurt when he's gone, but look at it this way, you'll be a much better off woman for it, though they may say your only doing it for his money, however he may not even have that much so in all cases they would be wrong. Do what your heart say's and not what everyone else say's.

you got all the points and what my mom's concern... she doesnt want me to get hurted again...if this time he will leave me early for age issues...but no one knows what happend tomorrow...and its a nice thing to say...i'll be a better off woman for it...thank you.

At 34...I assume you know what you're doing. It's your life..live it the way you see fit..and even though your mom doesn't like your decision,it's still your decision, and I think she should respect you for it. As for other people talking about your relationship,to hell with them,they'll do your misery for you,and when things get rough,alot of them won't be around to help you out anyways.

if love connects, you are happy, then go ahead, remeber you mapped out the love so whateve good or bad is your burdern, ultimately it is you and your happiness is the victory bearer
I think that if it is working and you both love each other what does Earthly years have to do with it? You must be mature beyond your years and are old enough to decide if this is a good choice for YOU...not your mother or other people that might have a problem with the age difference. You deserve to be happy and if you have found that happiness do not let it go. As far as the cultural differences go, it will be up to you to keep your culture alive just as he will have to do the same for his culture. This will bring learning experiences for both of you and should not cause any problems or you would have seen them already. Cultural differences...hmmm...my nephew will be born in January...he will be a duel citizen of Thiland and the United States... Hows that for cultural differences? It won't matter to me where he is or what culture he follows...I'm gonna love him the same no matter what. Follow your heart and good luck to both of you and may you have many years of happiness.
yes, tony randal did not live to raise his children. young women almost always want to start a family and generally speaking younger women arent attracted to much older men.
an2ahan: i love him, dik... itu juga gak dateng bgtu aja, ada proses yg lumayan menuju ke 'rasa' itu...tpi kita serius...n udah berencana nikah dec ini. kadang amaze juga knp aku bs se-extrem itu...tpi siapa yg tau rahasia hidup sie? :)
Glad to hear that.. I agree...we never now the secret of our life.. I support u full mbak.... Go for it... whohoooo....
oldfoxyguy: Here is a perspective from an "older" man. My profile shows I am 80. I am very healthy, very active in all ways, and have moved half way around the world to be with a younger Woman. Granted, she is not as young as you. I would have reservations about having a serious relationship with a girl who is still in the child raising years of her life. It is perfectly natural for her to desire children, but having babies or young children around me would be very difficult to deal with every day. Also the fact that even if I Loved to be their Daddy I could not expect to see the children graduate from school or develop into adults. Perhaps if I were rich and famous I would feel differently because there could be nannies etc. to give us time to enjoy each others lives. Just my thoughts !!!
You are right. The man I was desparately in love with...over thirty years older than I, was finished raising his children. I am 36 and still want one more...I do have a daughter in high school, however, and it would not be the end of the world if I did not have anymore. But I would always have a regret. So, if he does not want children and you do, then you have to move on and start over looking again. That's what I had to do. However, I really did love him very much and was very attracted to him and everything was wonderful. I still decided that a child is still out there for me and it is too powerful of a natural emotion and need for me to ignore.
Serpenta_Manon: Omg.. I can't stand the idea that she ( my daughter is 23) would come home with a man around my age(46).. that would freak me out!!
not even if she trully loved him and you knew he treated her like she deserves? extra money aside, that together they would be ok? what then? would the creeps subside?

I think the age gap is doesn't matter, while some are having problem, let them a lone with that, if you your self feel happy? so who cares.
what you must care here is, i saw you have a little boy yea?. care about your own life and your son future as well as yours. even so you already have a good life.
i never have problem with man i love, and with culture? when you want to jump your self into relationship with different culture at first time, what you most think? so be it, learn it, and take it. parents are parents, and our culture to respect parents, but you have your own decisions in life, we respect them, but we have our won choice right?. take your hart and your boy's sake (sorry if i have spell mistaken).
Good luck.
But by the way, why are you still here if you love him and met hi in real world? i saw just look for friend, but why put ages???...just carious.
i was quite a while in CS, i never really update my profile till last night... i have change my interest to find a friend/hangout, but i honestly dont know which column should i replace to cleared the states that im lookin for men... anyone can please tell me?
