In high school, I was 15, he was 17 and my parents did not approve. I listened to them and didn't date him.

Then years and years later, we got together despite the past. We've been together just over a year. Nobody disapproves us now.

I don't think our age difference is a big deal at all, and my parents don't care since I'm not a teenager anymore. Before this relationship, I was with somebody 6 years older than me for years.
