Submitted by LOLO (Canada), Sep 14, 2011 at 03:35

I need advice, I am 27 and very much in love with my turkish boyfriend, our love is like a fairytale. He's the most amazing person I have ever met. We are both in the U.S, he was raised in both turkey and the u.s.a. His family loves me and his very kind to me, however the problem is that i am 5 years older than him. We recently had a conversation about how future and he told me that he didn't think our relationship would progress because his family would not accept our marriage if we wished to do so, due to the age difference. We both ended up crying, we love each other so much. Now im wondering if theres a point to staying in this relationship if ultimately it will end and it's killing me, because he is my life.
