What’s your opinion on relationships with older men? Particularly men 15 years older. Yeah, I really love him, but I wonder if I’m wasting my time because I’m not sure if relationships like this can actually last etc etc. I don’t know whether to follow logic or my heart. Help a girl out.

I don’t believe that age differences are always an impediment to love, but I do think that they can cause considerable compensations.  With wide age and experience differences it can be much easier for the relationship to become emotionally unhealthy for one or both of the parties.  I think the hardest part of a wide age gap though is when it becomes long term. So keep in mind that he will always be in a different stage of life than you.  Even if you build a life together the older he gets the more noticeable the age gap becomes.  Relationships like this can last if you are both willing to commit, but while it may start happy it may produce a situation you will bitterly regret later in life.
