Dear Dr. Romance:
I want to thank you for the article you wrote "Age Differences in Relationships" I've been dating a guy that is 6 years younger than me (he's 20 and i'm 26) for about 10 months now and I've felt so guilty that i'm "robbing the crib" or a "cougar"...I haven't told anyone i'm in this relationship out of fear of their reaction due to the age difference.
Reading the article i felt a bit better about it because i know we are together for the right reasons and not as a fling. I really like how you express in your article that one should start concentrating on the age and rather look at the relationship, hopefully i can start to do more of that in my relationship.
Dear Reader:
I'm glad you found the article helpful. I don't think a six year difference is significant. What's important is that you form a partnership, with mutual respect and caring. To make your relationship successful please read Couples Can Cooperate for Success; Creating Unconditional Love; and Guidelines for Being Understood by Your Partner. You might also find my book: How to Be a Couple and Still Be Free will help you to create the relationship you want. I wish you good fortune in your relationship.
