Timing Is Everything: Sometimes It’s Best Not To Get Involved
You’re in different stages of life
Age-gap love can work. It’s not so much the age difference as it is the stage of life difference that can be problematic. Perhaps you meet someone who is 55 when you’re 32. The maturity levels could match up. However, you may still very much be in a place where you want to go out and have an active social life, and they may be ready for a quieter nightlife. This can leave you having to choose between seeing friends, or being with your partner, which means less time together, and eventually, a feeling of leading separate lives. That’s just one example of an age-gap romance that can face issues, but there are many others. So you just have to ask yourself if, right now, your life goals match up.
