Dear Coleen: I'm worried my boyfriend's parents will disapprove of nearly 10-year age gap

dailyrecord.co.uk:

I’m a 30-year-old woman and I’m back at university and back living with my parents after ending things with my fiancé. We’d been together for eight years and I thought I’d be with him forever, so when things ended, I felt I had to radically shake up my life.

So, I quit my job and decided to study something I feel really passionate about. I’ve also met this great guy at uni, but he’s only 21.

It’s going well, we love the same things, the sex is hot, and we have a real laugh together. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about the age gap.

I’m about to meet his parents and siblings soon – we’re meeting them for a meal at the pub – and I feel nervous they won’t approve because I’m nearly a decade older and also have a broken engagement behind me.
