Hello everyone.
I'm a guy, and I've been seeing someone for 15 months now. Shes everything I've ever wanted, perfect in just about every way. However, she recently revealed to me that shes 13 years older then me. I'm 22, she is 35. She said that she never told me because she never thought we would end up having a serious relationship, and she continued to keep it from me because she didn't know how to tell me. I have decided that her age doesnt matter to me and I love her and I still want to be with her. However, she insists it cannot go on longer, because our age difference is too great and it can not work, due to family/friends/society not approving of us and treating us with heavy criticism. I responded that I really dont care what others think, our families will eventually approve, but she insists it can not and will not work. She says she still loves me and its very hard for her, but better for us to suffer lesser hurt now then later. How do I make her see what I'm saying? I love her and dont want to lose her. She says her mind his made up, and she's tried for the past 10 months to think of a way she'd make it work, but she hasn't come up with one. Am I wrong in thinking that a 13 year age difference is not that huge of a deal?
PS- Yes, before I knew her age I thought she might be the one id spend my life with, and after I know her age I still think the same.
Thanks in advance.
