    It depends, is it for love or for another reason?

    Any other reason then I don't think it is ok no.

    If it's love... Then... Honestly? I would still think you would need to think about it considerably.

    Depends on how old you are. If you are under 18 then it isn't legal.

    That is a huge age difference and most people would have issues with it but it's up to you on how you want to live your life.

    Just remember....when you are 50 he will be 80 and possible dead.

    I want to be with my husband as much as possible and to think that I could lose all that time because of the age difference would be really hard.

    Not if you are 15 or 18. Give yourself a chance at a normal life first.

    If your 35 or 40 or older then its nobodys business.

    What would you have in common with a person that much older?

    If you wanted to start a family, he would be just a few years from retiring.

    And as a person ages, more health issues occur, while you would be in the prime of your life.

    People would either mistake him as being your father or even grandfather.

    Well down the line he will lose his sex drive.. And right now you like it but as time will pass you will be embarrassed to be with an old man and would want to be with a young man of your age. This always happens. Believe me. Dont go ahead with this man

    If both are legal adults it's fine from that standpoint, but I can't imagine what such a couple would have in common...different interests, levels of maturity, different places in life, etc...I can't see that it would last all that long, but stranger things have happened...certainly has never been something that would appeal to me...

    As long as you're 18 or older, there's (legally) nothing wrong with it.

    Make sure you take out a good life insurance policy!!

    You should get something out of the deal!!

    There's no law against it. If it's okay or not is entirely up to you. I would personally want to be with someone around my own age though.
