She's not 20 years older than him. But regardless of what we choose to think, whatever voice we hear or ignore, we can't say that every day, its not a challenge. When its good, it's the best feeling in the world but when its bad, its easy for us to blame our problems on the age difference. I am starting to reconsider about my relationship with my bf who is 9 years younger. The other day, he told me that secretly, he noticed that I am begining to have wrinkles around my eyes, and he feels like a dick for mentioning it, but it reminds him of our age difference. This is coming from a guy that used to make me feel like the most beautiful woman. Now, all I have left is a lack of self esteem. Relationships are hard as it is, and throw in another challenge like age difference, we are naive to think that if we love eachother, its all that counts. Remember, love and attraction goes hand it hand. What happens when he is no longer attracted to you down the road? I'm not saying that its impossible for it to have a fairytale ending, nor am I trying to discourage anyone. All I'm saying is, sometimes, its nice to have a relationship that you feel totally secure, and not have voices inside your head every SINGLE day.
