ummmm you realize this really ISN'T being open to dating younger guys don't you? I mean how much of an age difference is a year?

I date a guy who is 3 almost 4 years younger than me. But I wouldn't trade him or our relationship for anything. He treats me and understands me better than anyone else I have ever dated. We have a ton in common too. The issue is his mom. She can't get over the fact that a 22 year old is dating her 19 year old baby boy. Here's the kicker though- She's 5 years older than her husband! She is rude to me and pretty much tells my boyfriend and me right to our faces that "she was my age once... and she's not going to buy me a diamond ring.. she thinks my intentions are wrong.. blah blah blah" When in fact, no one has said anything about marriage and he knows my/our true intentions.

Any advice? It would much appreciated!

My advice? Relax and enjoy dating. His mom's issues are part of her 'letting go' process. Sooner than later he needs to have a discussion with his mom that she needs to BUTT OUT of HIS LIFE. Tho I'm guessing at 19 it probably won't happen as soon as you'd like. Boys generally take a little longer to 'grow up'. Hence the term "Momma's Boy". If your relationship grows & moves on to serious commitment and she's still treating the both of you like this, then you would probably want to nudge him to talk to her, but if you aren't there yet I would NOT suggest doing that.
