He's not a teenager who's going to grow up and change dramatically.
If he's in his 20's then he will know his own mind and make his own decisions.
It might not last for ever for lots of reasons, not just age, but that is no reason not to give it a chance.
Good Luck!! xx

We had a perfect relationship. Most people never experience the happiness we found together their whole life time. I feel blessed that I did and hold out hope to find it again. It's been 12 yrs since his passing.

I dont really think age matters all that much. You are both adults and can make your own decisions. If your both happy with the age difference then why not give things ago. It shouldnt matter what anyone else thinks as long as your happy.
Good Luck!

I think the odds are against this relationship working on a long term basis, but.... that is not written in stone.
I think the relationship can work short term for the next 5 years or so.
After that he will have hit 30 and may start seeing things differently.
He may want children(which you probably won't) and he will be entering his peak period as a man(30 to 40 )is the peak in my opinion.
You will probably be slightly past yours, but if the love is strong enough, I guess anything can work.
However, I really think this relationship is a tough proposition.
Best of Luck

 Age should never get in the way of how two people feel about each other, as long as its legal of course.
