If you are both mature and feel that the age makes no difference in the relationship (and you are both of legal age) there is no reason such a relationship wouldn't work.\n\nI know quite a few couples with that age difference or more and it works for them.

all you have to do is wait coz i too have this problem we are even 5 yrs ++...we both wanted to settle down but you should also cosider some things and make sure u are ready for it. maybe ur bf has still other priorities this time and maybe he is just preparing himself for the future..

IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WRONG!!! 1 year is NOTHING. It is much more about how you 2 connect with eachother than how close you are in years.  I once had a thing with a guy 2.5 yrs younger than me, and we are still great friends, cuz he was an absolutely AMAZING person, and was super cute, and quite frankly was more mature than most guys my age. Guys the same age as me were always pressuring me to do things I didn't want to, but since I was older than him, this boy was SO respectful of me and my decisions and feelings. And what a sweetheart... as you can see, I could talk for hours.  Obviously dating a guy like 5 years younger than you is kinda weird, but just a few years is NO reason to hide feelings for a guy. If he treats you well, who cares how old he is? And if you're worried about being made fun of, then DON'T! YOU like him, and it's YOUR business. End of story. Best of luck with him! <3

I fell in love at the age of 5, and I still love "him" nowadays. Our love has blossomed even more and we're planning to get married soon.\n\n(I'm currently at the age of 18 right now, so yours is all ok for me... if it's not, i'm definitely worse than you.)

I'm a male in my second marriage who married a woman who hadn't been married previously and its worked out great. In fact I'm glad the first marriage didn't work and we have been together 20 years and I would marry her again tommorrow. I'm sure your fiance was just meaning the second time around would be best for himself. Communication and genuine friendship is the key and humor is also very important. We often tease each other in a lighthearted manner. Also we have 2 children whom we are very proud of.

5 years isn't bad when you're older, but right now, you're underage.  There's lots that can go bad in that situation.  Find someone your own age.  UNLESS there is a lot of chemistry and stuff.  I mean, he may be the one for you, who knows.  But you are definetly young for him now.  If you do start anything with him, make sure you go slow.  And also be aware, at least in my town, when some girl your age is with a guy that old, she's considered a slut.  I mean really, what would a guy who's 19 want with a girl who's that young?  Be careful.

Hey tleigh...well after what i just read, it seems to me that the 2 of you are happy with the way things are now.  If this is the case then why ruin a good thing.  I believe the only time 2 people should get married is if they are both really committed to the whole marriage thing.  But, if you still have to stop and ask yourself if this is a good thing then most likely its not gonna be. But, like I said earlier,  you 2 seem to be doing just fine the way things are.  You know how the old phrase goes..."Don't fix it , if it ain't broke"  As of right now, it doesnt seem as if anything is broke in this relationship....Good luck with everything, tleigh...

Hey, me n my wife r 8 years apart. It is no biggie. If you are younger than 18 , then yes its a problem. If you are, then i suggest you wait. If not, then go with your heart and enjoy someone who loves you.

No, it's fine. You've been together a very long time. Why not make things more convenient?

Honey, as long as this guy is nice to you, understands about the difficulties such age differences mean, and is basically a good guy then date him, have fun, but don't let him press you to do things you don't want to. I married a man older then myself and have been very happy. It takes longer for men to mature then women so really he is basically your age right about now. So the real question is do you want to date some one who is the same age as you? lol

I think the maturity level of the two persons involved makes a difference, I mean if you are both willing to accept each other for who you are and for how well you get along, similar interests, good communication, respect, and love. If things are good between the two of you, age should not make a difference. My boyfriend is 22 years younger than I am, we have been together for over two years and things are great! I know what you are talking about though. Finding the right person to share your life with is difficult enough. Age should not be an issue. Let him know this, and let him know how you feel about him, that's about all you can do, the rest is up to him.

It's fine. My friend has been with her bf for 3.5 years, since she was 18 and he was 26. They're very happy together. But it all depends on the person.

I understand that you're worry about if he isn't mature enough and ready to face a life time marriage. I would say it's something that you should consider about but not to judge a person through his/her age. If you two have already got to the step that which is going to marry then you should know your future husband better. I don't know how well you two know about each other but I wouldn't recommend a rush relationship, especially marriage. Age wouldn't be a matter in a relationship which is cause by love, you should take a closer look to this person, find out if he would be the one that can love you, accept you and willing to cooperate with you to operate a life time marriage. If the answer that he give to you is "yes" and he has already proved to you, you mustn't stop.

as long as she doesn't think you're too old, then no.  When my husband and I met, I was 18 and he was almost 27.  At the time I was impressed with how much more mature he was than the guys my own age.

I don't think there is a age to get married it only depends on you. Ask your  self if you will want that guy to be with you the rest of your life?

Tell her, and find out where you stand.  It looks as though she may be ready to move on, sadly for you, as she may not see the outcome of your 'ups and downs' in your relationship in quite the same way as you do.  It might be time just to move on yourself or carry the relationship through into marriage - 6 years is a long enough time to do something about it. The fact she feels comfortable enough to make these arrangements in front of you means that she's about given up hope of going further with you because you've delayed for so long.  I think it's reasonable after so many years to decide whether you want to commit to this girl and ask her to marry you or live with you, or go your separate ways.

It depends on the woman.  Personally, I've been with my bfriend for 5 years (it'll be 5 years on May 15th) and our sex lives are the same like it was when we first started dating.
