I’m 34 and in a relationship with a guy nine years younger than me. He’s very mature for his age and he loves and respects me. But sometimes I feel like I’m doing something wrong because of the comments people make. My fear is that the relationship is getting very serious, as the conversations revolve around us being husband and wife. What if his family hates me because I’m older than him? I keep asking myself if I’m on the right path. Is dating a younger guy

You have said it all: he loves and respects you. What do other people and their opinions have to do with what you want, and what makes you happy?
If both of you are comfortable with your relationship, and have talked about
ways of how to deal with challenges caused by the age gap, then you have
nothing to worry about. I would suggest that you introduce each other to your families before talking about a permanent commitment. Remember, age is nothing but a number so make decisions that will make you happy.
