Is it normal that my bf is 11 yrs older than me

I'm 23 and my bf is 34. when i'm with him it doesn't feel like there is an age deference between us at all, but when people find out about it they give me this flashing look of "wth" like they don't know what to do about it. i'm pretty sure it's close to normal if not normal. however, i feel like this view is not shared by many other people. As a result, i've never invited him to meet my parents, even though i do think i'll be with him for a very long time. we've been together for a year and we converse about ideas and our thoughts for hrs on end. i just think my mom would lose it and i don't wanna be put in a situation where i have to pick between the two of them. what do You think?

    You're over 21.
    He's over 21.

    Ain't anyone else's business if you're happy together.

    I had a boyfriend that was 11 years older than me.. the only problem was that I was 17 and he was 28 O_O But I think it's totally normal.. If you love him, then why the heck should a freaking number matter? (that was my arguing statement with my parents if you couldn't tell..)

  • Nobody bats an eye at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie being together.

    What's the difference?

    If you don't feel the age difference then it's all good.
    It's cool. Just, don't get all nasty at him when his face starts getting all wriggly way before yours does. That would be just so not cool.
    I predict this scenario: who's this guy? He is Jeremy, our new plumber, he came to take care of the pool.

    Eleven years older husband: Yeah, the one forming over the couch whenever you watch that tv show you like so much.
    She: At least he appreciates my lack of sarcasm!
    Pool guy: Who is that old pruny guy?
    she: he is.. my uncle. He has a few screws loose.
    Pool guy: He is staring at us.
    He: Can't you two love birds go do your love dance somewhere else? You know, my dick might not be as ready for action at all times as it used to be but that doesn't mean you can shove another one right in my face! Whore. You are going to need the net on a stick to do what you have to do!
    Pool guy: Is it a dead dog?looks like a dead dog.
    She: Fluffy!
    He: Your psychopathic son drowned it!
    She: My son is not a psychopath!
    (son jumping in the pool with the dog corpse still in it)

    I think it's pretty normal, my aunt and my uncle have a 15 year difference. As long as you're above the legal age and you're happy, you're good (:
