How much is too much when there is an age gap?

Question

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 8 months(it'll be 8 months the 14th of december). We love each other very much we talked about having kids & getting married when i finish school hes in his senior year im a sophomore. Im 16 hes 19 he'll be 20 in January our parents know and are ok with it. We just have a lot of trouble in school with the cops watching us and teachers on our butts. ...should we break up for a bit until the issues die down or just ignore them?

Answer

ignore it my fiance is way older than me i dont care what anyone thinks. love does not have a age limit!

Answer

I just turned eighteen this month. My boyfriend is twenty-one, turning twenty-two in July. We've been together for over 2.5 years now, so I've definitely been in the same boat. Personally, I don't think the 3.5 age difference is a huge deal or concern. If you're both mature, I don't see a problem with it at all. I'm actually surprised to hear you have cops "on your butts". Where are you located? In my opinion, as long as your parents are okay with it, and as long as you don't allow him to take advantage of you (if he ever tries to), I don't think you should break up just because of such a small age difference.

Answer

The only way cops/ authorities will do anything is if your parents/ guardians would want to press charges.

Answer

For me, its depends.
​If its teens dating...
​2/3 maybe 4 years, but 4 is getting too much. 
​And adults... 
​Anywhere between 1-12 years suits me :) im not too fussed with adults but i get really sensitive when a teen dates and adult... Like 14 dating 20 year old.  Im fine with 17 dating 19 or something.

Answer

To me, a few years isn't that big of a deal..... But if it's more than a few decades (like 20-40 years) that's a lot.
