I've dated both younger and older. It seems that I can relate to those that are older than me for the most part, however there are other men that will surpise you and show wisdom way beyond their years. I've also learned that the later in life I go, the less the gap in "maturity" between myself and others of my own age. His age alone could be what is aggrivating you, it's not uncommon at all for someone older to be annoyed with the younger one in the relationship especially in these cases when society already tells you that the man should be older.

Can I ask you something without pushing it? Could you give reasons why you should be with him? You've given reasons on why not but what about why you are with him now? There has to be good qualities if you're with him. I would weigh out the good vs the bad and see if really the age thing is getting to you because society says it should or if it's because he really is that much less mature. If it is a maturity case, I don't think the chances are as high on it working because as many of us know, with immaturity also often is accompanied by lack of courteousy and understanding and we all need that.
