I recently started dating someone who is much older then me. I'm quickly seeing we are two very different people in many ways. He is 8 years older than me and it seems that our maturity levels clash at times from him being much more mature then me. While im young and barely 19 i wonder if our age will have any problems for us in the future. I was wondering if anyone had problems in the past that broke the relationship or any that was overcome that could help with advice to how to keep the relationship strong.
Problems From Age

Unfortunately I don't have any real advice for you, but I'm currently dating someone 12 years older.
So far, there have been no problems. Our personalities are incredibly similar, and almost all of our interests are the same. So far, the age difference isn't even really noticeable to me when we're together, so any issues you may be having could be a combination of personality AND age? Of course, I don't know either of you, so I couldn't say for sure!
You might talk to him about your concerns to see what he thinks. Maybe this stuff really is a big problem, and will cause the relationship to fail, or maybe you can work together through it.
Either way, don't give up until you've talked!
