age gaps

Hi ladies... I was just wanting to know what your thoughts on age gaps were? I'm 22, currently 17wks pregnant wigh a little boy and single. My babys dad is 42. It was just sex between us. Regardless, he is still in my life and finally comming around to the idea of my pregnancy and being rather supportive. The thing is, I'd feel kind of nervous if it were to ever bloom into a relationship. He is older than my mum and a year younger than my dad. I'd just like to know what you all think..

I don't think age really matters:) my Uncle is close to 50,  (I'm not sure his exact age) an his wife is 28. So they're more then 15yrs apart in age.  My hubby an I are 4yrs 8months apart in age :))

@amandak0805 I was just curious to see what others had to say. Of course I understand that at the end of the day it is my decision and it does only matter what I think. So I will chose on my own what I want to do. Also, I enjoy hearing everyones stories and thoughts.

I've got a 16 year difference between me and my soon-to-be husband.  The age difference never really comes up. To us, love is blind.

There's only six months difference between my SO and I - neither of us see any issue with it. We believe people should love who they love and that be the end of it, we just happened to be close in age. Your happiness is really all that matters.

Wow, I feel very encouraged by all your comments :) I think we would be great together as a couple, but I guess I was thinking too much about what others would think. I shouldn't and won't let that get to me. Xx

My boyfriend is only 4 years older than me. But when we took a break I dated a guy who was 9 years older than me. He was a great guy. My sister is dating some 12 years older than her. They have need together 10 years. My best friend has been with her boyfriend who is 11 years older than her. I meet him and think he is the perfect match for her. If you are happy that's all that matters.  You will get people that judge you but heck everyone in this world gets judged almost daily for something

Age is only a number and is not of importance as long as you are in love. My husband is 10 years older than me and it actually has been a great thing for me and I love him more than anything in the world. His age does not affect me, us or anyone else. Actually my family and friends are like no way he is 10 years older...hes sexy and looks better and younger than guys my age lol

I'm 20, 14 weeks with pregnant and my baby daddy is 38... He is younger then my parents but only by a few years. We are in a serious relationship. I live with him, and we are engaged... So I guess my opinion is shaded but I dont see anything wrong with it. You guys are both adults, and if its meant to be then its meant to be:)

I'll be 20 in June and my boyfriend is 25. I know it's not a huge difference, but some people still don't approve. If you're happy, don't let what others say get to you. (:

As long as you're an adult and content with your life go for it. Worrying about outsiders' opinions isn't worth it. If it makes you feel better my aunt is 30 and her bf of 3.5 years is in his 50s
