Hello

In a more “traditional” relationship, people age, mature, and progress at roughly the same pace. But in a relationship dominated by age difference, one person may need more emotional support while another may need independence. Perhaps your partner was in a long-term relationship and is now used to someone taking care of them, while you like the opportunity to be on your own once in awhile. Or maybe one person’s physical person will decline while the other remains healthy.

Thanks for reading

From my point of view, age difference should not be a barrier in a couple where both person love each other. If they love and understand each other, then what's the problem? There are cases when male is elder than female and they don't have a good understanding, they don't live a happy life, they have different points of view. It is not necessary that a male to be elder than female or viceversa, the important thing is that both of them to love each other, to respect and to understand each other.

I fully agree with you.You have to live in your own way, the way what make you happy.If you want to be and love somebody older or younger than you,so, do it! Your happiness depends only on you.Sometimes society puts many borders for person just to control.I saw a lot of happy families where the age difference existed.I have to say that these families are very strong.
