AGE DIFFERENCE
Hi Stella,
Thank you for amazing blog. Please hide my email.
I’m a 37 year old female who is in a relationship with a 25 year old.
We really do love each other and hope to get married someday (soon).
The issue now I’ve been so scared as to how his parents will react to our relationship. His mum most especially.
His sisters are on board but we are more concerned about the mum and we don’t know how to go about it.
Am I even doing the right thing by being with someone his age? We have been praying about it but I’m having cold feet and so scared.
This man is everything I have prayed for. He loves me so much and I am sure of it. He is godly just like I have asked God for.
I have cried so many times, asking God why he brought my answered prayers in the body of a 25 year old.
I’m at crossroads now and I don’t want to give my happiness up. I’ll like to hear other opinions on this matter.
Please advise. Please help!

Age is nothing but a number.....
Tell the mum the age she wants to hear, it is none of her business who her child decides to settle with and your age is not her business....It is you people in Nigeria that enpower parents not to mind their business....
Please after reading this Narrative, i hereby declare that you are also 25 years old...Tell the mum that and keep it going....And if she finds out and tries to make an issue of it, ask her if she is your mum that birthed you....
He is a mature man, right. If yes, go for it. All the best, dear.
ReplyDeleteKnow this one thing
ReplyDeleteDon’t ever let go of anything good on your own
If it’s taken from you, that’s one thing
But to leave it cause of fear. Mba no
You want to hear other opinions and you want to know if you are doing the right thing.
ReplyDeleteWell it is simple, ask yourself if you will like a 37 year old woman to date your 25 year old son. If you have brothers, try picturing them with an older woman. Whatever your conscience tells you is the answer.
Must dey know your age? Are you feeding him and paying bills? Is he financially independent?
ReplyDeletePoster please make sure he is really aware of what he is going into. He is still young and may want to explore in the future. I am more concerned about you not getting hurt.
ReplyDeletePoster don't let him turn you to sugar mummy o. Na so one almost turned me to sugar mummy. I decided to try order ones but those ones are only looking for kpekus with no future in mind. The younger ones who are ready for marriage have nothing going well for them in terms of finance.
ReplyDeleteAside age, does he have good character and values? Is he financially stable and responsible? Remember that most broke guys are very loving and loyal! Can you trust his leadership? Why does he prefer someone 12 years older?
ReplyDeleteIf both of you are mature adults, share the same values, and are committed to a future together, then the age gap alone should not determine the success or failure of the relationship.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger question is not what his mother will think, but whether he is mature enough to stand by his decision respectfully and whether both of you are prepared for the opinions that may come from family and society.
Take your time, have honest conversations about marriage, children, finances, and long-term goals. If those align, then focus less on the numbers and more on the quality of the relationship. His family may need time to adjust, but a healthy relationship built on love, respect, and compatibility often speaks for itself.
Don't let fear make the decision for you. Let wisdom, compatibility, and shared purpose guide you. ❤️
Abeg the age gap is too much haba.
ReplyDeleteA whole 12 years.
As in ehn, it’s giving mother and son relationship.
DeleteThe Declaration For Me
ReplyDeleteIya Boys Done Turn Prohhetess ooo..😁😁
@Poster Age Is Nothing But A Number Seems You Both Love Each Other Please Tell The Mother
Wishing You Two All The Best 🙏
Hello iya Boys
What is the guy himself saying? Is he financially dependent on you? If he is, then you don't know his true position. Even if he helps you lie to his mum no due to what he gains from you, in the long run he may change. That age margin is wide. If he is my brother or my son, I will not support that relationship.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if it is genuine love and he can stand up for you, the choice is yours.
I personally think the age gap is too much, it would be different if the other way around bc women mature differently than men. In a few yrs the gap will be further widened when you get into your forties and he’s in his late twenties. Then the insecurities you’re feeling will be further widened and love will not be enough. In your heart of hearts you know it’s beyond his mum that’s why you’ve been crying at night. Allow him to explore life he may not even be ready to settle except for your age, if you were my friend I’ll say let him go, he’s too young for you.
ReplyDeleteCan u pple ever be truthful for once?
ReplyDeleteThe age gap is too wide and i dont care if he has all the qualities she wants in a man,its a total no-no 👎.
My course mate ( male) got married to our lecturer ( female) they are happily married both traditional and white wedding, with one kid now, age is just a number.
