Have you wondered how two people could be happy in an age gap relationship? If so, you are not alone. Many skeptics are not shy about voicing their (often negative) opinions of pairings between older
Raise your hand if you have had a relationship that you wish you could press the delete button on and never have to think about it again. Aren’t you grateful that you don’t have to worry about people staring at you right now? Well, try not to feel too badly. I’ve certainly been in the same
