My now girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for a year and a half now. I met her at a romance date tour which took place in Cebu City, Philippines. She and I travel a lot together, enjoy each others company, talk about life, etc. and I can say, she is the one and I want her to be my bride for life. But theres still concern before tying the knot, she is just 24 years old, half of my age. My friends were confused why I chose to tie myself with a younger woman when I can find someone at my age. I love her and I want her to be part of my life forever. With that year and a half relationship, love is very evident to both of us. What should I do?

@askingguy77 Hi! Thank you for reaching out! This is definitely a difficult situation. Many of the people around you do not understand the age gap and your choice and that seems to be getting to you! It doesn't sound like the age difference is difficult for you though. I wonder how she may feel about the difference in age. You two have had a lot of experiences togther. Some people feel it is not a chouce who you love, it just happens, which seems to be hard for you. Good luck!

I think you should focous more in how you and her feel about it. Realise how she feels specially since she's much younger.

Friends and family can only give an advice, the final decision is always yours. You know what will make you happy.
