writes: Hi, I'm a 19 year old girl currently dating a 25 year old guy. I'm still studying and living with my parents and he is already working, has his own home, touring in a band overseas and interstate. I don't drink or do drugs but he drinks and smokes and does weed. He never pressures me into anything and calls me smart for not and does not smoke when iam around. My question is though have a lot in common do you think we will have differences/problems along the line with the age gap even though it isn't that big?Thankyou

Staying as friends with an ex rarely works. If you're going to split, make a completely fresh start. Better for him so he an move on, better for you as well.

princess166 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThankyou guys for your answers! You are right, the underlying issue I have is the fact he does drugs and tours a lot. Apart from that he is wonderful and understanding and we are happy...but I do think there will be heartbreak, I'm not sure what I should do? Perhaps staying as friends?...

I agree with CaringGuy, the age gap per se isn't a problem.
That's the beauty of dating; It's a form of searching and finding through which we figure out who our perfect mate is. Is he right for you? Time will tell!

The age gap is not of concern. My husband is ten years older than me. What is of concern is your boyfriend's use of substances. It is never a good thing when one spouse does drugs and the other does not do them. In this respect, you are not compatible at all. The other thing that I see as something I personally would never get myself into, is a relationship with a guy that not only does drugs but travels overseas with a band. I think you are setting yourself up for heartbreak. I know you did not ask us about the drugs or his career, and I may be completely wrong, but this is just my gut feeling, and I am voicing it.

The age gap isn't the issue here. Of you're happy with him, then that;s all that counts.
