Key Points

My husband is 14 years older than me, and we started dating when I was 20.I wish I'd known I'd lose friends because of the relationship.We also had several awkward interactions with strangers as an age-gap couple...

When I started dating my husband back in 2007, we'd known each other for several years..

Here's what I wish I knew about age-gap relationships back then.. I wish I knew some of my friends weren't going to be supportive and that I'd lose some..

But as I graduated from college and moved in with Andy after about eight months of dating, I quickly realized just how different our friends' life stages were..

Andy has kept in touch with his friends, and now that their kids are much older, it's more enjoyable for me to hang out with that group once in a while..
