Is he a year old and you're eight months old? After that, the 4 month age difference should be acceptable.

Sorry you are having bad experience. The truth of the matter is that he just didn't have the courage to say he didn't feel that your relationship was not working for him. Don't take it too personally. People change. Sometimes people aren't who you think they are.

What a douche, he couldn't just man up and tell you he didn't want to be with you anymore rather than making up a lame ass bullshit excuse? OP I'd say you're better off.

Your boyfriend is werid. But my parents are 16 years apart. It doesn't really matter about the age, it's really if u truly love them.

My fiance and I are 20 years apart and that doesn't make me love him any less. In a situation like this you should be glad, because what other stupid excuses will he make to get away from you? I hope you find a good guy.

I'm a year and a half older than my boyfriend. I'm 22, he's 21 and sometimes I think he's more mature than me! OP, your ex is a turdnugget and I hope you find a good guy worth your time, energy and love.
