Age gap is just too big.

Morayo2906:

In reply to the comment about marriage, I don't want to rush into anything that is why I'm asking whether it is doomed or whether it is worth the risk.

I genuinely care about him and do not want to create friction for him and his family.

@poster, forget his friends or wateva business he is doing. the fact still remains that u are lot older than he is and he's gonna change his mind very soon when the pressure from his family becomes unbearable. It can be painful but the truth needs to be said. I will advise u let go and look 4 somene who is thesame age bracket.

I want to blv u've got a yoruba background too if your profile name is anything to go by and whether u like it or not, age means a lot to the yorubas. It's believed the husband should be older than his wife, not the other way round. Moreover, he is the only SON of his mother. If u really care for him and urself, it's better u start planning on how to end the relationship b4 it gets out of hand.

Believed by who? the yorubas? never heard of such and i'm sure it ain't no taboo.
My sister is 2 years older than her husband and they have been married for 20yrs.
My point is age difference of <4 yrs is somewhat same age group and more acceptable than 11 yrs.


I c u madlady. look at u quickly agreeing

That's not true , I just thought his reply seemed very thought provoking.

tosyne007:

if u check my post properly, i never said it is taboo or it does not happen but it's a belief. I am very sure u know the difference between a "norm" and a "belief". Moreover, apart from your sister, how many examples of such relationships can u cite, even from your family. The bottomline here is that, i and a larger number of other posters believe this relationship aint gonna work and its better for HER to look elsewhere for her hearthrob.

jay bee:

OK. oya come here for a hug

And i ask whose belief cos u seem to be speaking for the yorubas. I know quite a few actually. Another girl friend of mine just married someone she is 2 yrs older than 2 months ago. The point is it won't work cos of greater age gap rather than her just being older than him. That's the difference

I will happily marry someone that's 2yrs older than moi. It's kool and sexy to grow old together. hahahhahahaha
