It actually does, a 25 year old is not at the same place in life as a 30 somthing year old. at 30 year old people expect you to marry and start a family, and at 25 you would probably just start your career/finish your studies. Totally diffrent stages of life. I havn't actually read it yet so I might be wrong but generally speaking it does matter.
I dont think its isnt about age, when we are talking about 20+ years. it depens how u grow up (culture, parents, friends, society) and which value/perspective of life u are experieced in that time. That forms ur way of thinking how life should be.
“Not in the same place in life” lmao
My husband and I are barely five years apart and we’ve been together six years, so we both know what we want out of each other already. I’m 25 and he’s turning 30, and LOTS of people I went to school with already started their families long before we have, soooooo definitely not about two different stages in life. Hell, Daniel’s the one who’s further on than Rose in this story
I mean, i get what you're saying, but that's a problem that's only as big as you allow it to be and at 25 you are old enough to handle yourself. It's no one else's business what you do with your life. Putting that aside, i was more of talking about societal standards than day to day grind. Peoplelike to be nosy and act like a 5 year gap is some huge issue when the reality is that they're just bored gossips.
Well, I've recentlly had a "date" with someone 11 years older than me and he even lied about his age! He told me, he was 6 years older, which is not so bad, we're both adults, but when I saw him I just knew that he lied. Then he admitted the age difference was 11 years. Age matters, to me he's just old, he even started graying. I felt betrayed and so annoyed as I was lied to, but even without thinking about what he was hiding, I just couldn't feel at ease with him, he was like an uncle at that point.
Yes, being swindled feels bad. Who even knows what that guy's intentions were. Putting that aside, wouldn't the obvious assumption here be that I'm talking about consenting couples? Besides, you just said you would've been fine with an older guy, just not 11 years older. I guess the point is that adults can do what they want without needing to worry about what other people think.
Yeah, I'm not denying what you said, I agree to it actually, but I just wanted to point that age in some ways matters :). If it is a consenting, healthy and adult relationship who cares about their age differences, if it's not a problem to them or even they don't care about it, good for them.
Yeah my dad's 8 years older than my mom...
Yes, age matters, no, it doesnt when there is only 5 years between you two and you're both adults. At most it'd be an issue of tastes.
