A girl shared how she is dating a man who is 8 years her senior and when her friends found out, they started discouraging her.
Here is the story
Want to know different opinions on this. My bf is 30 and i am 22. He is 8 years older than me. I’m very happy in the relationship and I don’t see anything awkward about our age difference.
My friends are constantly telling me that I shouldn’t be with him and he is too old for me. They make it sound like it’s a bad thing for him to be dating me.
Like I’m a victim in this relationship. We both naturally fell in love and started dating. He is a fine gentleman. He respects me and treats me very well. We are planning to get married this year.
Once i broke this news to my friends they started discouraging me. They said I’m rushing and i should find someone my age.
I also have few friends saying he is a good catch and i should go ahead before he finds someone else.
But I don’t understand why everyone makes it sound like it’s either one of us benefitting from the other? Is 8 years too much of age difference for just real love?
I’m definitely marrying him because i love him and we both see a beautiful future with each other!

- You alrdy know the answer lah…You just want to get some blessings from strangers.
Ok , here it is. your ‘friends’ aren’t the ones that is going to spend the rest of the life with him. You are.
So if you think he is the one, just go for it.
Age gap has nothing to do with the longevity of a relationship.(unless you are marrying someone 50yrs your senior, then the r/s isn’t going to last very long)
- 12 and 20, 22 and 30, ,42 and 50, 52 and 60 are all 8 year difference.Perception of age difference changes from downright disgusting to absolutely alright as u grow older.
