Pete,

If you two have been together for 15 months without going public, I don’t see the urgency here. But if you feel you must, why not? Whether your families approve or not, none of it should change your relationship if it’s that strong. Keep doing what you’re doing. If your families approve, great. If they don’t, oh well. You’re an adult. It’s your life. Not theirs.

Hey Pete
There is certainly a “creep factor” to your relationship. She is old enough to be your mother. You will always have people having a problem with this but you are free to do as you choose.

Dear Pete,

You, a consenting adult, are in love with another consenting adult who, in turn, also loves you. There’s not a problem as far as I can tell.

Sure, there are some cultural references you’re not going to get because they happened when you were too young to know anything, but so what? There are also some things that interest you that will fly past her, but so what? You’re both adults and you love each other.

If your respective families freak out then that’s their problem. You don’t have a problem – you’re in love. The risk of them knowing about your relationship is that they’ll “disapprove,” but since you’re both adults their disapproval has no power.

You both just have to be open and honest and show how much you love each other. Anyone who doesn’t like that has hangups that have nothing to do with you or your relationship.

Sincerely,

Suzanne White Montiel
