writes:I am a guy of 23 years of age in a relationship with a girl of 23 as well but she is 3 days older than me. We both have been pressurized by friends, relatives and people generally that the relationship can't work, they say it will be better if I look for someone younger than i am and she looks for someone older than she is but we both love each other so much. Please can you advise me on what to do? Reply to this Question

JUST 3 days? son, i like a guy whose 6 YEARS older than me :) you'll work out fine. Maybe theyre just usuing the age excuse because theres something else up with her that they don't want to tell you. Otherwise, it's fine. If you think it will work, it will work!

3 days is nothing!!! If your mum had had you a week earlier or hers had had her a week later would that make it OK? My husband is a whole 2 months younger than me, shock horror!Even worse, my daughter is very happily engaged to a guy nearly a year younger than her... I know this sounds awful, but you blokes tend to die off 7 or 8 years earlier than us so if we don't want long widowhoods, we should all be looking for blokes at least 7 years younger!Seriously, as other replies say, age is nothing to do with possible happiness and nothing to do with anyone else - go with your heart!!

 WTF???!!!
I mean if you tell me she's 10 years older I'd tell you: mmmmmmmmmm you love her and she loves you well Guess it's suppose to work out:s
But Man she's 3 DAYS older? I just can't see the age differance!!
Plus, you're both in love, who cares what every one else says as long as you're both happy and want each other.

 To me this is obvious nonsense - you are ideally suited if the same age - but in some cultures/traditions the man is supposed to be older so that he can dominate the marriage/woman. Also so he can understand her a bit more.
As my partner is some years younger than me, I can't talk here ... personally I like younger men. So in your culture I dread to think what I would be! But you are the same age as your girlfriend, so really people shouldn't be making such a fuss. However, it is all about the culture you have to live in.
Do I think your relationship will work? Yes, no doubt.
Do I think you will have to put up with everybody and his uncle telling you it won't? Yes, by the sounds of it.
You will just have to stand up for yourselves, tell them to hop it, and be happy with your girlfriend and not listen to that nonsense.

 Why do they say this? That is just so ridiculous, if you'se are happy and in love then prove them all wrong by staying with each other, age doesnt make a difference when it comes to love, you'se prove everyone wrong.
