Does age matter in a relationship?
I love my BF so much but, he is 36. I am 22. I really love home and don't want anyone else. He has told me straight up that he loves me too but that he thinks that it was a mistake bumbing to me that night we first met. Was that ****** up of what he said? That is was a mistake? He also told me that he thinks I am going to cheat on him. I am sad and alone because because of what he said. I want to do anything for this guy and be with him. But is this age difference bad?

No, age does not matter in a relationship of both people are of legal age, which you are. I am 20 and my boyfriend is twice as old. He also made similar comments early on in our relationship. We talked and he realized I'm devoted and commited to him for life. He later admitted he was just scared I would leave him for someone my age. But after we talked he realized I'm his for life and commited only to him. Your boyfriend is probably just afraid you will leave him too. Just talk to him and let him know your heart is his and nothing will ever change that

Age does matter but not so much once you get to your 30s....unless you're dating a teenager or someone old enough to be your father or grandfather.
There is a big difference in general life experience and maturity between age 22 and 36. It might not seem like it but there is.
You need to learn to TALK to him. Communicate. Ask him why he said that. If he doesn't want a relationship with you, he needs to be honest and cut you loose so you can be with someone else. Ask him why he thinks you'll cheat. That makes him sound insecure about himself.
Why do you feel "sad and alone?" You're not alone. You're still dating, according to this post. I'm sure you have friends and family too. If you're sad, ask yourself what you've done to help solve that. It doesn't sound like you've talked to him much or had a conversation about all this.
Sounds like you need to.

as long as you are both classed as adults its your feeling that matter not your ages
the lady i love is half my age and we can have a conversation and i dont say anything was a "mistake" and i trust her ----- if someone says they think you will cheat then your romance is going nowhere ---- there MUST be trust not earned freely given

in your case no you are both of legal age now if you were a minor yes but if you both love eachother age should have no effect on you
