We love each others company and being around each other is our chance to get away from the world. BUT the problem is I'm 17 and he's 29. Should I simply end it because of the age difference? I've comfronted him about it and he never thought that the age difference was significant. And we've already had sex. Reply to this Question

 I am 29 and am engaged to a 17 year old. We live in the UK, so completely legal. I love her more than I have ever loved anybody, she fels the same. I hope we can be together for eternity. Age is a number that is only a barrier if you allow it to be. I found my soulmate, so never regret the age difference.
I think you should give it a chance. It can be quite difficult sometimes because of opinionated people, but I found that the criticism brought us even closer as we felt that we had a point to prove.
Times can be hard, stressful and turbulent, but I would not change her for the world.

 If the age difference is you're only issue, like the previous post said it doesn't matter. As long as you love him and he loves you and it's merely not just for the sex then I don't see a reason to end it. Though you have mentioned you've already had sex which can get him in a heap of trouble in a lot of places (don't know what the law says where you're at). But if it's truly for love, there's no reason to end it, unless you are feeling he is manipulating you.

I personally feel that age is only a number. It's so important to get along well, considering the age gap. I think you are mature enough to bring up the age gap with him. As long as you don't mind the age difference, I really think it doesn't matter.
