Dear Abby: People judge me for the huge age difference between me and my boyfriend

Their 23-year age gap draws social criticism despite shared Christian faith, mutual trust, and active charity work, highlighting challenges faced by couples with significant age differences.

Summary by Michigan Live
DEAR ABBY: I am 85 and dating a man, “Larry,” who is 62. For the last 25 years we have become good platonic friends doing community charity and church volunteer work. During this time, I also took care of my husband, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s for 12 years. Five years ago, my husband died, which left me totally alone. Two years ago, Larry, a lifelong bachelor, asked me out. We get along wonderfully and eventually fell in love.
