I honestly think he could possibly be the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, it just feels so...'right'. I can be myself around him, there are no lies, no fall-outs as of yet, and Life just seems to be perfect when I'm with him!So here is the dilemna, my family and friends approve of him, they like him and think we should continue the relationship, however, he hasn't seen his family in years and doesn't want anything to do with him due to childhood issues and his friends are completely against us being together because 'I am too young' and I can't help but cry when I read all their nasty comments on Facebook and I don't know what to do! He is fine with our relationship and has even said that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me but I just don't want us to be put under more scrutiny! What should I do? Should I leave him to please his friends and avoid any more hurt or should I stay with him and hope that they learn to accept us? Obviously we were very wary about going public because of the age difference but a few friends from church put two and two together and told people!Please help, I honestly don't know what to do. :(

 Well here's the thing - they don't matter. And, if you guys are together and happy, and if you plan on continuing being together... you'll get older. That is just how it goes.
You will pretty much have to learn to let the comments roll off your back. You know that you're happy and you both are content with each other - that is all that matters. You'll keep getting older and when you're 18 and he's 24, nobody will be able to say squat anymore. Especially if you end up getting married, you will have the last laugh.
Don't worry about them. You are happy, he is happy, that is the bottom line. Good luck, sweet!
