One of the first major battles a May December couple is likely to experience is disapproval from friends, family members, co-workers, and the public in general.  (Be sure to read Maya’s post on marginalization.)

In our experience, learning to understand, set, and maintain healthy boundaries is a must for anyone in an age gap relationship.  It’s a tool that will:

  • come in handy
  • get used a lot
  • help preserve your relationship with each other
  • enable you to communicate in a clear way to nay sayers
  • be one of the best things you can do for yourself and your partner.
