I've been going out with my boyfriend who is 11 years younger than me for 8 months. His sister has always been a little hostile towards me but today she invited me for lunch. After about 10 minutes she asked me to look at her and then asked me what do I see in him. I replied that I love him and his caring natures etc and she laughed and became really aggressive saying I must think she was born yesterday. She proceeded to go on about how I'm 33 and he's 22 and how she wasn't going to let me take advantage of him and wasn't going to let me use him as a trophy boy (I do not in any way think of him in this way). She then said I should end it with him or that she would. At this point I told her I wasn't going to be spoken to like that and got up and walked out although I felt like lamping her to be honest.

They had very harsh childhoods their dad walked out when he was only 4 months old and their mother was often absent down the pub and even abandoned them to go on holiday for a week with some guy. She in many ways raised him and looked after him so to an extent understand her concerns towards him. Besides doing this she qualified as a doctor and he's going to become an accountant and she played a very large part in this.

Presumably the sister has more information than the rest of us.

I always assume there is another side to any story. Age and experience etc....

I see the OP has not returned :)

I'm back sorry for being away for so long. To answer some of the questions, I don't have any children at the moment. I have socialised with his friends and him with my friends and it has never been issue. He is not my toyboy and he works himself, he is on an accountancy firms graduate scheme. I have had relationships in the past

I spoke to him tonight although only on the phone and he said that she can be like that and she is used to looking out for him but he'll speak to her about it. I'm seeing him in the flesh tomorrow.
