Age gaps

Does anyone really care about age gaps anymore?
Obviously there are various boundaries that are unacceptable, but when you have two clear adults does anyone judge, make an issue of it?

I ask as I have started spending time with someone who is 13 years younger than me and we seem to get on well (I'm very late 30's and he is mid 20's) and wonder if this were to progress am I going to have to face a bunch of criticism.

Doesn't sound toooo bad (13 years with him mid 20s and you late 30s.)

Will you be wanting children though? Have you got any already? At mid 20s, most young men will want totally different things to a woman of nearly 40. So it may not last long. SO many variables,

@LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway he has 1 child, I have 2.
Definitely something that would be on the discussion list if it did become serious.
Think it's that initial dating bit and if you spend time with people you know. I'm not thinking friends as good friends wouldn't criticise, but randoms, colleagues etc.
