When we first started dating I lived in Weehawken NJ, which is cityISH like. No one blinked an eye at us. We moved to his area during covid, in Far Hills NJ area. Again, no one blinked an eye but I think that has much to do with us living in a very affluent area where we have seen many age-gap couples at the restaurants we frequent. My parents do not care and love him more than any guy i've dated (which have all been 15-25 years older). He has 2 children 22 & 19 which I get along with very well & love very much. We don't see our age difference but I have gotten comments said in a joking matter from a few friends but I truly think that has more to do with them and their insecurities with their own relationships. I know that of the few friends that call him a "fossil" or ask "if people think he's my dad" or send videos of older men able to have children with much younger women (a "if they can do it so can you guys"),  they are married to people their own age with small children. They all make a decent living & work hard but I know they still struggle or find that they don't have enough time to spend with their kids because of their working hours. Whereas they see me being a housewife to a man i'm not married to yet, able to live a privileged life because my bf is more financially stable bc of his age and where he is at in his career. I wouldn't say they are jealous of me but I would say they, in their own minds, are jealous bc they think I don't have to work as hard as them to get the things I want...which is and isn't true. I may not work a traditional 9-5 like I use to but what they don't realize is, I started my own business with my own money that i'm able to make a living from and work from the comfort of my own home that I share with my boyfriend (which my bf is also fortunate to be able to do).I think that bothers them because I think deep down they wish they had that ability, so they could spend more time with their children and husbands. I will admit that its nice not to worry about money anymore and nice that we live & enjoy a very comfortable life. I love his life experience, how wise he is...Its very attractive. We have many common interests and have taught each other new things along the way. Age does come into play when I don't know an actor or actress, movies, athletes, writers or musicians from his generation but other than that, we don't see it. I do think about him not being around as long as me and that gets me sad but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.
