Is a significant age gap a red flag for a relationship?
Age is not the issue per se because the foundations of a successful relationship are common values and an aligned approach to life. The reason people state age is because people across decades often have different values and views about life but we don’t all sit in the average. Naturally, there are exceptions, and people can, of course, have similar values despite being from different decades. Instead of focusing on just one data point like age, talk to each other and explore your goals and dreams for both your lives. You will have some individual ones, and that’s perfectly normal, but as long as you have similar views on how to build a long-lasting relationship and that you’re both willing to work through the tough times, don’t give up on something just because of age. Simply make sure you both agree with whatever you decide.
