My husband is 21 years younger than me. Right now we are in a long distance relationship (he is Romanian and still in Romania and I'm in the states). There are a lot of times when we don't see eye to eye, but we talk it through. I try to remember what it was like to be 29 (woops, I just gave my age away LOL) and how I used to think at that age. As with any relationship, it takes lots of work to keep it going. Both my daughters are in relationships with men older than them. One's boyfriend is 10 years older, and the other is 14 years older. It seems to work out fine for them too.
I suppose many people have issues with my husbands young age, but I don't really care what they think. When we are together, it is pure magic. I'm the one who has to live this life, not anyone else. While I am sensitive to other's ideas and feelings, I do expect the same in return from my family and friends.
I wish you both well!
