I'm 35 and he is 28...

[WomanInTheWindow]

I have not had a serious relationship for a while.

At the moment we are still getting to know each other. He says it does not matter to him.

But I know it is not the 'norm'. None of my friends know about us yet.

What do you guys think?

Nobody would question if it was a bloke with a younger woman

Its not that big of a gap. my friend dated someone old enough to be her grandad and that was a bit strange and a bit ick in general. I wouldn't have put them together even if he was younger tbh.

7 years is nothing. One of my close friends is 12 years younger than her husband. They have been happily married for 25 years.

OP 37 years ago we were in the same position I was 29yrs and my wife to be was 35 yrs. It is mind over matter and forget about about what people may say it has nothing to do with them. If you are both happy it is only your business and your true friends or true relatives will support you.

After all if he was 42 yrs would it bother you it works both ways after all.

All the very best to you both
