Answer:
My partner and I have what is considered an age gap, myself being the younger partner. We’ve been together for a bit over a year. In that time, I’ve certainly copped an earful. Usually from strangers. It was hard at first.
Explanation:
As someone who was just young and feeling the excitement of new love, it was pretty frustrating to hear these things. I felt it very important to defend myself and him, prove that we were compatible and our relationship viable. Eventually I decided I should be putting this passionate energy into our relationship rather than our image. That was certainly the right choice.
