My boyfriend is 18 and I’m turning 25 this fall but he makes me the happiest and acts older than his age? Why do people have to judge?

[Leapfrog00]

Because people are assholes. Next time someone makes some ignorant remark, you should say "At least I'm happy!" That will shut them up. People hate when someone else rubs their happiness in their face!

I honestly believe that for some people, it's not even about the judging. They just do it because they have to make other people miserable!

[slatyb]

That's just what people do. Ignore them. Still, he's very young. What are your goals? Do you want to be married? If so, are you willing to wait the six or seven years it will take for him to be mature enough to make that decision?

[SnowedIn]

They judge because they feel they can. Sadly you won't stop them.

Ignore them.

You're happy; take care of you.

For what it's worth, you've got my support.

[JustinTheGreat]

I mean it’s definitely a little bit weird…lol. Im 25 and I wouldn’t even wanna be friends with an 18 year old who just got out of high school.

but I mean you do you

[JamesMI616]

They're either jealous or they simply don't understand. People always look down on what's different. They fear things that they don't understand.

[es20490446e]

For every decision you take there will always be someone who disagrees.

That is why many people avoid making decisions, because decisions always piss off someone.

[PointTaken]

Just don't listen to them. That's not such a big age gap. As long as you're both happy.

[AaronH03]

Because people always judge and assume they know better than you do.

[exitseven]

i an not judging. If you are happy that is all that matters.

[bowenw]

So you know who they aren't your friends or worth knowing.

[Blueeyes81]

Everyone judges, everyone. It only bothers us when we are insecure about what is being judged.

[riverrat3]

Judgy people have a set of personal rules they believe every one should live by

[RHK36]

You shouldn't care about what other people think or say. You do you.

[Amur8711]

Its only seven years as you both get older people will car less.

[Paulalove98]

Yeah exactly. Especially when he’s 25 someday and I’m 32 it’s gonna be literally nothing! Lol. People will only shake their heads right now because he’s 18.

[Amur8711]

Yep

My girl lives far away, she is 9 years older than me. I just turned 30 a month ago

[PizzaPieMamaBear]

Sweetie I’m 41 my boyfriend is 21

[LiamJHayden]

Ignore them. You are adults.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I don't know. Just how people be

[Unit1]

People have always something to moan about.

[Anonymous]

I never understood it either

[collie22]

It's none of there business

[baseball_del_tuono]
