Is it really a deciding factor in a relationship?","appBody":"<p>I think the only real time that age should be the deciding factor is if either party is not of legal age. An older person trying to have a relationship with a much younger one who is not of a consenting age is in the wrong and inviting a world of hurt. Not only does society look down on that, the law does as well. Even if the young person thinks they are in love, it is not right. Other than that, I don't think age should be the DECIDING factor. Sure it would be a consideration if there is a big age difference. People of different generations have different life experiences, tastes, habits, levels of health and fitness. So if the age gap is too great it could cause problems in meshing lifestyles. And you would have to consider the longevity issue as well because no one wants to have to outlive their love by several years. You would also realize though that a certain amount of time together isn't guaranteed to any couple, even if they are the same age. Illness and accidents can happen to either partner at any age. </p>\n<p>However, if you are just looking at up to a 10 year age difference, you might consider in the beginning a person was \"too old\" or \"too young\" and then yet find yourself falling in love with that person. In that situation, you should make your decisions about who or what type of relationship makes you happy. Society has opinions on lots of things that are in no one's best interests. You should not give up on what you think might be the love you your life just because you think public opinion would not approve. </p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pkustdhl5","appParentAuthor":"winarobert","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
