I am in love with an older colleague – need advice

I'm a 25-year-old male, and I'm in love with my colleague who is 30. We both have genuine feelings for each other. However, the age gap is making me hesitate when it comes to thinking about marriage, and she feels the same way.

We truly care for each other, but we're unsure about taking the next step due to this age difference.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would love to hear your thoughts or advice on how to approach this.

Reverse the gender and it does not look like a problem now does it......

If you truly care for each other, go ahead and take the next step and get married. Take this hurdle as a challenge and face it head on. Because honestly this is the least of your worries.

Here is a saying, calm waves never made a good sailor. And life is all about hitting that turbulent wave.

Fine if you are capable, open-minded, independent financially and strong enough to stand by decisions you guy's are going to make. Try to explain situation to families offcourse.

If talking about the financial situation her side is all set but my side I'm starting from zero. So I don't want her to compromise over me. So I am thinking of letting one more year pass but her age is also running

Not getting in between that

Family members are okay with both sides.

Love will eventually run out. Real life pragmatism will kick in. Then you will regret it. By Bad luck if there is any regret, and goes for divorce, you will go bankrupt. She has hit the wall. She doesn't have another chance. She will wipe you clean.

I am married to my office colleague since past 2 years, he is 5 years younger to me. Our marriage is good and age doesn’t bother us. Only thing she is strong lady and you gotta support her when it comes to family and managing job & house. Financially she is already stronger so she will support you there.

A few opinions I would like to share -

  1. Two people living together will always have differences in opinion and making it work is what matters at the end of the day. Having a difference is normal. Not having it is a bigger problem. So it doesn't matter who is older or younger here. Every healthy couple fights!
  2. If you're worried about 'what society might think', then no matter who you marry, they are eventually going to find faults in your relationship.
  3. No relationship is perfect. Look at Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas for instance, what matters is maturity and they have it. Respect your partner and take accountability for your actions. Every relationship will shine that way. I would suggest going along with it, maybe living together for some time will make you understand how you both respond/react to each other, only and only if you both are serious and willing to take a chance. Thanks for listening.
