If your family cant see your happy and you are grown enough to make a decision for yourself let them go.You only have one life to live.Just make sure he is genuine and really loves you because hey your already sacrificing relationships just for him
I'm in the same position. I've decided to joy what we have
I AM IN LOVE WITH A MUCH YOUNGER MAN, DON'T KNOW IF HE YET REALIZES HOW GREAT WE WOULD BE TOGETHER. SHOULD I LET GO AND FORGET THIS SILLY NOTION OF BEING REALLY HAPPY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE OR WAIT UNTIL THE RELATIONSHIP HE IS IN FALLS APART? I DON'T WISH FOR HIS NOT MAKING HIS CURRENT RELATIONSHIP TO WORK, BUT I THINK IT WAS DOOMED FROM THE START. I MAY BE OLD, BUT MY BRAIN, MY HEART AND MY BODY SAY I AM STILL 40... WHAT TO DO???
I don't know how to let my young lover go but I know I must I'm 31 he's 19 go ahead and judge me I judge myself !!! He has his whole life ahead of him I don't want to break him..
I am in this situation as well. The man I am in love with is 22. I am 38. I have never felt this kind of a connection. I don't even think about the age gap when we are together. I have never felt more loved and respected and vice versa. Not only is he 16 years younger but from a different culture and country. Although this adds intrigue. I feel like we gave known each other forever but I know it won't last. This breaks my heart. He will have to move in one day...
I hear u. I am involved with Somone way younger from a different culture who is afraid of anyone knowing about us. What makes things worse, I am divorced with children. He would be disowned. I love him with all my being but know this is a risk and could ruin his life. I cannot stop it though
Hi I'm also 48 and he is 29. And we met over the internet. We started as friends first and then it turned into something stronger. We are both married and have kids but we both have deep feelings for each other and want to meet each other. Its been 6 months since we know each other.But the only thing is that he live all the way across the globe and I'm here in states. I want to go see him since he cannot come here due to financial difficulties, but I have no idea how to do it. I want to see him even if it is for once before I die but I don't know how to do it. I've never traveled alone and am really scared. Any one relate to this???
You shouldn't feel disgusted or ashamed, though me telling you that probably won't help. You are only 3 years older, he will soon be an adult too. If things were meant to be then why not just remain friends and see what happens.
Reading all these posts have been so beneficial. I am a very confused woman and am thankful to see others share their experiences.
I have read some nasty responses as well and these people have no idea what they are talking about. Love has no boundaries and I can see often times the women that fall in love with these younger men, didn't intend for it to happen.
That's where I am. I am going to post my story and it is going to be judged but I honestly don't care. I have judged myself enough to know the implications of my feelings.
I met a boy not a man. He is 17 and I am 37. I am in a very loving, happy relationship with a man I met when I was 16. He has always been the one for me, my best friend. But as in life, things happen sometimes for no explicable reason. So I met this boy under strange circumstances. While most I would turn away from when I am told their age, I felt this incredible connection with him immediately. I know how silly it sounds but he feels like my soulmate. I wasn't looking for him, I never intended to have feelings for him and I certainly never thought I'd have feelings for a person this young ever. It scares me, disgusts me and fills me with remorse and guilt. However I can't pull away. I have tried. We are just friends and could never do anything because we live in different parts of the world. But I fell in love with him and want to see how the future plays out. I have never really thought of him being the age he is as he is more mature than most 17 yo. It is just a very strange feeling to be in love with someone that I have never physically met. And I know it isn't lust. I think being in love with someone for 20 years has made me quite aware of my feelings. I tried dismissing them for anything but. I believe in destiny and weither this man and I could ever be more than just friends is up to the future. Maybe it is just nothing and I am sure if, when the time comes that we no longer want to be a part of each other's life's, it will be painful, but it is an emotion I have already dealt with and am willing to deal with again if that's the way it has to be. It just inspires me to know that their are woman out there with men 20 years younger that have worked out. You just never know what the future holds. If someone told me this time last year that I'd be thinking about a young man the way I do, I would have thought they were crazy but yet, here I am. Life works in mysterious ways.

Would love to hear if any of these relationships work out. No relationship age gap or not is guaranteed to work but I would like to know if I am wasting my time or not. Articles I read say no they won't because at some point the younger man will end it and really just wanted sex. Well that sums up the majority of men doesn't it? Of course they all want sex, so do we, but can't it be more than that?
Does anybody still use this site or know of others?

His a grown up man that knows what he wants so his got u and u got him and u happy so is he stay for love and not ppl cheers
I think I'm in love with a 23 year old man. I'm 47. We were sexually involved for about three months. We did not "date" but hooked up mainly. He was so sweet and polite to me and still is. We work together. But one day out of the blue, I ended it. I could no longer be his booty call because all his other personality traits are what I wanted in a boyfriend. It hit me by surprise! I was not trying to fall for anyone. I simply told him the situation was not right for me becaus I was afraid I might start liking him more than I should (when in actual fact I already WAS). He was concerned he did something to upset me, I told him he did nothing wrong and that's where it has ended. He now has a GF. I still work with him and seeing him walk by and when he talks to me, it's torture! I never expected this at all and I definitely keep it to myself, but dang! What am I supposed to do??
I am 60, love of my life 47 and he is married to 45 year old woman. We been together for 2 years and I know it's wrong. But we so much in love and I don't look older then him, but I know it will have to stop in some point, I know it will be very diffucalt time for me. But can,t stop now.
I feel your pain. It was smart of you to end it though, before he did and before you got too attached. I can't imagine how painful it must be to work with him, seeing him everyday. You need to get out, take up a new hobby, maybe start dating, so that you can forget about him or else you are just torturing yourself. Good luck!
Just the fact that's he's married isn't very good. Hard to fight love though.
