Can we make our 20-year age gap work?
DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend loves to stay out until the early hours with his mates and enjoys nights out whereas I prefer a quiet weekend in with a film and a takeaway. I do go out drinking occasionally but I am ready to come home by midnight. I dont enjoy boozing any more. 1 I dont want to suffocate my boyfriend and make him old before his time  When Im ready to turn in, hes just starting his evening and thinking about which club to head to next. Im a 46 year-old gay guy and slowing down. My partner is 25. We have been together for a year and are very happy. I have recently moved south with my job and my partner says he is moving here too. I am not sure whether this is a good idea. Hes still young and I dont want to suffocate him and make him old before his time.

Dear Deidre on Sex  Dear Deidre on Relationships  Dear Deidre on Marriage  Dear Deidre on Family  Dear Deidre on Parenting  Dear Deidre on Grief  I feel I should end this relationship and allow him to be young. The age thing is only going to get worse as time goes by. DEIDRE SAYS: Not necessarily. Some relationships flourish despite a large age gap. If you are both happy now then its a shame to end something thats working. Good relationships arent that easy to find. You dont have to do the same things all the time  but listen and show interest and be pleased when your partner is having a good time. will help you to decide if this is right for you.
