marisoll: Jahzah, have you ever been in love? have you ever loved someone soooooo much that you were willing to let him go so that he could find more happiness elsewhere, hopefully ?

I'm not disgusted in your love, love is grand. Just saying if you were male you would be bordering on pedophilia in the eyes of society And really your just living a fantasy, if you have ever been in love you would know this
jahzah: What if you had a 20yo son with a 47yo woman attracted to him ?
I don't know because I only have daughters and can only relate my experiences to them. But beings you set the age at 20 J, I'd probably not like it, but he would be of legal age and there wouldn't be much I could do about it.
I know it's a case of double standard, but as long as my children are minors, I can have some input on the situation, but once they are of age, there's nothing me or anybody can do to stop them. I'd still not like it very much and would have a hard time accepting it though, I just know myself.
What's right for someone else is not for me to judge though, I can only give input on my own personal experiences and viewpoints.
I'm not about to say that I judge someone being with someone older or younger though because it's that person's choice...but my kids are an entirely different story, hope you can understand where I'm coming from here.

Nice response but confirming my thoughts at the lack of instant disgust
and to clarify "someone younger" I don't mean a 15-17 year old girl or BOY, being with someone lets say 15+ years older. It's not only disgusting, it's illegal and pedophilia. That's the part that I really take issue w/ in all of it.
Once a child becomes of age, the parent has little to no say in any choices they make, all we can do is love our kids and TRY to put them on the right path to be happy, healthy, productive stewards of this world..JMHO.

edited response, I'm so tired my eyes are crossing and my proofreading skills are in the toilet tonight, my apologies.
Just a question for everyone who thinks this is a problem (and I do) ... Is it because the Boy is 20? What if the age difference were say ..20 years ...but the Man was 35 and the woman was 55. At 35 he'd have a little more maturity, but the stigma still exists. Yep, I'm 55 and had a young man of 35 very interested...but I also noticed he was embarassed in public, shy, etc. I never pursued it, but we are still friends and I prefer to keep it that way ... because there have been times our age difference bored me.

I don`t thing that a 20 year old van be compared to a 35 year old
Antjo39: Sampe,not everybody is judging difference of age when it comes to love from moralist crap.. Nope me at least. I just see to a proper name to that: if it is love: love, if it is just plain screwing: screwing.

plainlyjune: hmm, i know for some, personal happiness is what matters, but i sort of get your worry. He's too young. 20 years old and haven't explored his full potentials yet. Let him live his life to the full. You're in for a heartbreak when she finds a younger woman too.
thank you..... that is really what i am hopeing for, because even though we have no problems and we are happy together, I know that there is someone out there more his age that god made specially for him and right now I don't want to be in the way.....
marisoll: A year or so ago, while on vacation in the Caribean, I met a wonderful young man,,,, after many drinks, we ended up in bed, he is now 20 and I am 42.... no matter, how hard he tries to act my age, it is impossible, he wants to stay with me, but... I think that it is just unfair for us both, even though we are very happy when we are together..... I really have to let him go and I am having a difficult time doing so...... ANY ADVICE, PLEASE???? all advice will be appreciated, thank you....
You never ansered my original question. I asked, if you have such proclaimed happiness why are you throwing it away? Its a quality many would dearly love to have. I think you are not being honest with yourself. If you are, you will clearly see the answer.
venusinsilk: She has her doubts and I was giving my opinion.Anyway she seems to have disregarded anyone who thought the age difference was a problem. I also notice on you profile you're seeking a male between 40 and 50. Having read what you've had to say to me here, maybe you should change it as you could be missing out on the man of your dreams.
I myself would prefer a man around my age but thats not to say that if l met a younger man who was everything l was looking for that l wouldnt go for it. I am just trying to make the point that each person has the right to live their life as they choose not as others think they should.
Exactly right Boban ... there's the morality ..then there's just plain the age-difference interests and maturity of life experiences. Either way..while it's somewhat a compliment, it doesn't seem to work.

I totally agree with you but why did the OP ask for an opinion if conflicting ones are not what she wanted to hear?
