Anonymous: Hello ma'am, I am a 38-year-old woman in love with a 32-year-old man.
I have never married and he is divorced with no children.
We both work in same company and relationship is serious.
But everyone says that a woman being six years older is considered shameful in our society. His friends jokingly call me aunty.
Should we ignore society or I should end this before it gets serious?
I personally feel that age doesn't matter in love.
It's completely okay to have an age gap of six years.
It doesn't matter if you are older.
If the relationship is serious and you feel that you'll be able to go ahead with that person, go ahead.
You don't need to worry about others and society if your partner accepts you.
