Relationships with a big age gap

Yaoifan November 9, 2017 5:43 am

I've seen much too often in this comment section of people wanting the couple to break up. And the excuse for that is having a big gap that is making everyone nervous.

I just do not really get it fully. I can understand some people's stance but you have to realise when a people falls in love the first thing on their mind is not about how much older the persn is compared to them. Love is love (except for paedophilia) and people should mind their own business, live their lives and love their partners to the fullest. If two people really and truly loved each other they would try to work it out and compromise because that is what love and having a relationship is all about: try to work things out and sometimes making comprises. Sure there wil be some disagreements and fights because of differences in age due to a partner's maturity or immaturity level, but at the end of the day are you seriously going to let these things ruin your relationship?

I know of many couples, some being older couples, who have quite huge age gaps (my parents being one of them) and they managed to work it out. And of course, I know everyone will not be able to deal with some of the issues that come with having an age gap in the same way someone else would, but I believe if you claim to love a person age should not be one of the excuses why you want to break up with them. My parents have a 23 year age gap between them and they somehow found a way to work things out between them. Of course, they have had their arguments and fights but they have never blamed it on their age gap. And of course, the older you become the more it ends up not being something to bother about anymore... Well, at least that's my opinion. ( ̄へ ̄)(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

    i'm usually in the neutral party but with plenty people wanting them to break up i's making me root for them more LOL. IMO after the two had their own space to think and work things out, it should be good for them to end up together.

    My reason for thinking they WOULD break up (not should necessarily) had nothing to do with age, but more the lack of trust and the manipulation on older guy's part.

    This is one of the most jaded and soulless comment sections I've seen. Just give up and don't bother trying cause usually "blah blah blah painting everyone who isn't perfect as loss causes blah blah old people hate blah."
