Your age difference seems so minor to me. I'm 48 and my boyfriend is 28. We've been together a five years now. Most people don't care/notice - we're pretty silly together so I guess most people find us a bit curious but happier than most couples so we don't get too heavily judged. But yeah - I've had situations where I felt self-conscious. Waitresses pointedly carding him and not me. Direct rude questions on my age from jealous girls his age. Still, I try to remind myself - no thanks to society - that older does not equal less attractive. I'm attractive, and not just "for my age" and he is too - but even if we weren't -- there's way more to us than that and in the end of the day - we try to make one another happy and I think that's the most important thing.
