Eight months difference is nothing! Nobody should comment on this at all!!!!! I guess you simply have a great relationship that people around are jealous of. I guess they are always waiting for something to go wrong so that they can feel comfortable in what "they know" is right. Most people feel more comfortable with the idea that the woman should be younger than the man. Heck, even when the woman is much much younger than the man, then it is the man that walks around looking and feeling like some champion!!! For real!!!!
