I'm 25. He's 43. Can People Stop Judging Our Age Gap?

Q: I'm 25 and my boyfriend is 43. We met on Hinge a year ago and just instantly clicked. Most of the time, I don't notice the 18-year age gap, but weird little things do pop up sometimes — like, on 9/11, he was in college and I was 4 months old. Overall, though, this is the best relationship I've ever had. Unlike guys my own age, he treats me like a queen, we almost never fight, and I can trust him completely.But I can tell people are judging us…
