My favourite couple on the internet! Seems you're always kind and respectful to one another. 💝 How do u deal w the challenges/difference of opinion? Ever need a time out?
My husband was 20 years older than me. We were married almost 20 years. Best relationship I’ve ever had. He passed away 6 years ago and I have no regrets. Congrats on your engagement:)
I was 25 when I married my husband who was 57. We had 30 wonderful years together. The last four years together my husband had Alzheimer’s. I had people taking care of him while I worked and I took care of him at night. I wouldn’t change it for the world. He was the love of my life! I was an old soul and he was a young soul so it worked out great. Age is just a number. I lost him December 7, 2023. Now my whole life is shattered!
Oh mon Dieu quelle belle histoire !!! Merci de d’avoir partager votre expérience, et en même temps je vous souhaite mes sincères condoléances que Dieu vous console !! 🙏🏾 Nous sommes un couple mixte avec 29 ans de différence d’âge, nous allons bientôt nous marier malgré les jugements qu’on reçoit de la part des autres…
OMG..what a beautiful beautiful story!!!! I wish it was HIGHLIGHTED ON THESE POSTS AND IT WAS THE VERY FIRST COMMENT!!! I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS MY DEAR...I PRAY THAT U BELIEVE IN THE AFTERLIFE AND THAT YOUR DEAR HUBBY HAS BEEN SENDING U MESSAGES FROM HEAVEN!!! I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN THE AFTERLIFE!!!
My husband was 32 years older than me. We were married 29 and a half years. He recently passed 4 months ago in December 2022. He was a young soul and fun. We meshed so well together. He was the love of my life. We have a son together. Age is just a number!
@AmazonEspionage 0 seconds ago I’m not sure if you will take the time to answer this, but I hope you do. My husband is much older than me and I love him to the moon and back, but I dread the day he will leave me. I’m so scared if the eventual decline I will see in him until one day he is no longer in my life, and I don’t think I will be able to handle it. How did you get through that?
My husband and I have been married for 21 years. He is 12 years younger than I am. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. We have a beautiful marriage! I know everybody says it, but the truth is ages just a number! May God bless and keep you both❤️🙏
Mayra, your and Donnie's intimacy is no one's business but your own. I don't think you should talk about it. Some things are meant to be sacred. I don't think you want that all over the internet. Love you guys.
Doesn't want people criticizing but let's post on here. HHahaha sounds like ex prince Harry. Want privacy but let's air stuff online. For clout. People like her are so narcissistic
My first marriage ended after 15 years and 5 children. I raised them by myself for the next 20 years, never dated the entire time. Fast forward, I was working in a mom and pop postal shop, wondering if I would meet someone amongst my customers. That's exactly what happened. A regular customer whose wife had recently passed away asked me on a date. We dated nearly every day until covid interrupted us. We were both sick for a week, then we picked up where we left off. He asked me to marry him and I happily said yes. He is 17 years my senior (I'm 55 and he is 72), but we get along great and love our life together. As someone else noted about you two, my hubs calls me his queen and spoils me rotten. Congratulations and enjoy your time together.
You just described how my hubs and I met. We closed the coffee house night after night. I am five years older than he is but here we are 55 years married and we still stay up half the night solving the problems of the world and many people in it. I pray your marriage lasts like ours!
The most remarkable man I ever met was 99 when I met him. We talked for hours - his personal history, which he could remember completely and in detail, went back to 1920 (born in 1915). I was 62 when I met him and he asked me to move in to take care of him - he was going blind but still most definitely had his wits about him. He lived another 3 years and I have no regrets - it was an amazing experience. Love doesn't know age. (When people would question who *I* was, his immediate quip was always 'she's my Mom!' The looks we'd get... )
It seemed to me like he was coming on too strong. He was just like the older men that hit on me. They're obnoxious and they don't see it. They think theyre funny. I get it these older men feel young at heart and she is vivacious, fun and full of life.
My husband and I are 23 years apart! About to celebrate 16 years of marriage. We married when he was 53 and I was 30. I can relate to most everything you both shared! We started out as friends too and are both so grateful for that foundation ✨. Best wishes to you both as you continue your journey
My husband is 10 yrs younger than me! We just had a baby ! Iam 46 yrs old ! Baby was NOT planned and we didn’t know I was pregnant! He is a pandemic baby and the best gift ever ! I follow you guys on tiktok and ABSOLUTELY LUV YOU !!!
Lovely video. My husband of 10 years is 25 years younger than me and I adore him and he adores me. We have so much fun and so many things in common. It's just a number.
Despite the age difference, you guys have great chemistry and it reminds me of my husband and I…not the age difference but ‘the click’. When we started talking, we closed restaurants and still wanted to spend more time together…When you meet that person who you just never run out of conversation and laughter with, it’s amazing. 7 years later, married for 3 years and we still absolutely feel the same way. So happy for you two!! Enjoy it, not everyone is that lucky in love 🎉
Congrats to the 2 of you. My husband is 22 years my senior also (I'm 35, he's 57). We have a 9 year old son and just had our 2nd son last year. He's an amazing husband and father. :) Best decision of my life. Both families accepted and loved us after their initial shock, haha.
Yes it seems to work as long as it’s the women who are the young ones in the relationship- it’s no big deal- you can still have children- it’s not so easy the other way round
Mayra and Donny compliment each other, the best part of it is that you guys built a friendship first that made the foundation to the commitment to your next step in your guy’s future.
I agree, they are too cute together. I love Donnies down to earth attitude and it fits so perfectly with Mayra. These two are awesome. I am hoping we get to see Donnie put on an apron and be Mayras assistant chef in the future for some episodes
Baby girl your happiness is priority, don't worry about people that are judgemental. You live your life and be happy on your terms, Don seems like a really nice man. Stay happy and blessed both of you! ❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Aww, thank you so much babe! At first, it was definitely hard hearing all the comments but we've developed very tough skin and it really doesn't affect me anymore because I know how I feel ❤️We love you!
Ann Seebalack nice to see another Canadian here. I am in the US now but knew some people with the same last name in Winnipeg. Love watching Mayra and Donnie. I agree 100% As long as they are happy together it should not bother anyone else!
I love how honest you were about how worried you were about the age gap! But you guys are so cute together and you can tell there is genuine love and respect there. Great storytelling btw.
This is so sweet. Someone once described meeting the love of their life as "We started a conversation and the conversation never stopped." That's how I'll know when I find the one.
My husband is 16 years older than I am. We have been married 26 years. Our first date was a 4 hour phone call. We still talk for hours and hours. I hope you meet someone who you connect with like that.
I know how you feel, I'm 27yrs older than my husband and I get the same all the time, is this you son 😡 but it's acceptable with no questions for a man to be 25yrs or more older.
My parents were about 30 years apart. They were happy and they didn't care what other people said. I am happy you found someone because girl life is too short. Thank you for what you do sharing your recipe
My husband’s brother just turned 81, and his wife is 44. They are the cutest couple ever! She just became an RN so she can take care of him as his health is failing. She said it’s just made their love stronger. Love is love regardless of age.
I really enjoyed hearing your how-we-met story. Best relationship I ever had we were 22 years apart, together for five years, and made so many beautiful memories together. Old soul-meets-young-at-heart is always a win.
Love it! My husband and I are 20 years apart and it never made a difference. Just had our 25 th anniversary and became empty nesters. We wouldn’t change a thing. Congrats on the engagement!❤️❤️
What a great story. I can relate to this, my husband is also 34 years older than me. We been together for 17 years. I’m very happy with our relationship, no regrets. Age is just a number. Congratulations!❤️
My husband is 17 years younger than me. I felt the same as the age gap wasn’t an issue to me but it was on my mind because of the outside world, their perception and people’s judgemental reactions that made me feel like I had to reconsider this amazing man . We we’re also friends first, for almost a year before I allowed things to be intimate. Money was also never a part our friendship/dating life. It’s been 4 years that we’re together and when I meet new people, they don’t know anything about us other than the age gap but still feel the need to put in their two cents like they’re saving me from something. I just tell them…I’m happy, he’s happy, maybe you should focus on your own life.
@@Nazey09 what? I prefer a man my age from my era so that we have something in common. Not more than 5 years older and not more than 3 years younger than myself.
My aunt was neary 20 years older than my blood uncle. She was widowed with two grown twins close to my uncle's age. He had never been married. They met when he was in the Army Air Corp. And she was a secretary. He was bald and looked older than his age. When they got married my grandmother flipped out. They had a child and was married for over 50 years. He was a good man and treated her like a queen, and she was the kindest and most loving person anyone could ever know. She passed away 14 years ago and I miss her loving spirit, and now 10 yrs ago my uncle joined her in heaven. Love doesn't have an age. ❤
My husband is 12 years younger than me, 25 years together! Best guy ever! Age is just a number, be happy, never listen to negetive people. Love your story, love your videos, love ❤️ your channel.
This really helped me. My Bf is 14 years younger that me. I worry about it all the time. We’ve been together 2 years and I am the happiest I’ve been with anyone.
@@katiefitz79 I don’t know why people accept men being older but not men being younger. 12-15 yrs is nothing. I need a younger man in order for them to keep up with me. What ever makes you both happy. I’m very athletic so you get works better for me.
A love story is a love story is a love story! When it’s right, it’s right. It works when both people love and respect each other. I’m 9 1/2 years older than my husband. And yes, as a woman I was bashed for dating a younger man. It was a really big deal for me. But 35 years later, it’s still about us. Enjoy being in love. Live your best life. Love you guys, be blessed.
You both are very respectful and accepting of one another in the ways that make any relationship so admirable. Donnie seems to be your best friend in every way and you seem to be embracing the joy in a man who embraces every aspect of what makes you beautiful inside and out! Keep enjoying being appreciated and treasuring the moments that make life sweet!
I loved this story time . Isn’t it interesting that we pay so much thought into what others think? Life is too short , what truly matters is you are happy . I’d like another story time of how both your families reacted
I would loove to hear about Donnie and Nati's relationship and how you (mayra) made sure the balance was there between them. As A step parent myself I would enjoy a conversation about that.
He seems so sweet and you seem so happy! Age is just a number! Happiness is everything ! Hang onto that love and don’t care what anyone has to say ❤️ how someone treats you speaks volumes, and you 2 seem to be quite smitten by each other!
You two seem very happy together. These days an age difference is less evident because older people are taking very good care of themselves. It's a blessing to find symmetry and can I say love?❤
Congratulations to you both! I'm 46 and my husband is 29. We met 3 yrs ago, and have been married for for 6 months. The 17 yr age gap was hard to get over, but quickly it wasn't a thing. We just joke about it now. He's the best person I've ever been with, most guys around my age are still very immature. My husband treated me like a queen when I met him when he was 26. And still does ♥️
Thank you for giving me hope, not al younger guys are ok with the age gap sadly, I am casually seeing one and he says I am a catch and treats me great and all but wont date me long term cause of our age gap, I am not pushing it. I am walking away kindly and opening up my heart to others that won't mind the gap.
Maybe the problem is that you specifically only want to date someone younger. It should be about the heart, why exclude someone just because they are closer to your age. It usually does not work out in the long run when the woman is much older because women generally age more rapidly at a certain point. At some point you lose your sexiness and the guy is still young enough to attract a sexy woman.
@@lw6323 many women look really good older, and many men do not. Plus women on average tend to live longer than men, so the age difference can be really nice all the way around!
Money…really. They both are sharing their story, much appreciate you being open. Happy to hear you became really goods friends and company. Gracias ! 🙏🏼
As long as you both are happy with each other is all that matters. There are too many people in the world without a special someone. Love has no age, love is timeless. Forget what people think of your age difference. Congratulations!!! Best of love to you ❤
I would love to hear about how y’all went about introducing each other to each other’s families and when y’all decided it was time to move in and how your daughter handled it.
I love seeing your relationship. I’ve always felt strongly that age is not a factor when it comes to love. It’s all about finding the right person. It’s your life and if it makes you happy, then do it. And yessss! More videos!!
Aw guys. I'm 52 and my boyfriend is 26. We spoke for a whole year and we just bonded and he said I love you first and it just came natural to say it back and we have been together for two years now. He is my rock he has an old soul and a beautiful heart. Kudos to you guys don't care about what people think. Be happy and love each other. ❤️❤️❤️
Girl my husband and I were introduced on fb by a mutual friend. Our first phone call was 9 hours!! I got off the phone and told my parents he was the one! We had our first date 3 nights later, and married 6 months after that! 3 kids later(plus his 2 from previous marriage) and we celebrate 13 years this year!❤️
So this was nice! "Intimacy is not sex," says Teal Swan. And although we don't believe the same thing as far as spirituality goes, I can definitely agree with that, and a few other things. I think it is all the little things, especially deep conversations and agreements, and finally friendship that you share. You can tell that you guys are really great friends and enjoy being around each other. If someone is older than you that means they will have so much more to talk about and experiences to share!
My husband and I have a 33 year gap. The age difference was hard for me for a really long time also. At the same time, both of us were in a healing process from many things from the past and as we fell in love we helped to heal each other. It was also challenging for his adult children but over time it got better. Thanks for sharing your story. Also, my hubby is also a Don 💕
@@yoya4766 plenty of non age gap couples have the same dynamic. Do you condescend them in the same manner, or does it just bother you to picture a grey haired dude absolutely railing our fave low carb queen?
I genuinely don't like to comment on others happiness, but he said himself that the first thing he noticed was how little her outfit was, how young she looked, and that he thought she could have been in her early 20s... Reminds me of the man who groomed me when I was 14. Imma just say it.
You are so lucky to have found someone who Loves you, Respects you and Values you as a person, woman, mother and as a business owner. May God bless you both always. 💕💕
I have been following you for so many years and let me tell you I always felt awkward about you and donnies age gap but not after this video. I can truly see that you guys connect so well and love each other and donnie seems like so much fun and has a very young personality. I hope you guys stay blessed and last forever!
I Loved This! Thanks for sharing guys! I thought my 10 year age gap was difficult to overcome our difference's.. but, wow, you two obviously belong together. I truly believe it is more common then people realize.. and I love it. We're all just people that need to be loved❤️💕❤️💕❤️
So happy for both of you! The love of my life was thirty years older then I was, he's in heaven now, but I see evidence of his love to me very often. Love is eternal.
I absolutely love your story! I also had a much older husband and we had a beautiful family. He passed three years ago. My family & I cherish the memories with him. ❤️
You two are so sweet and I can relate to some of this. In my relationship I'm the older one by 26 years. My partner has been mistaken for my son more than once and I've lost a lot of "friends" over my decision. We've been together over 3 years now and are engaged despite the judgemental challenges. Thanks for being inspiring!
Go Donny! You prove that any age gap can work. And donnys confidence & young demeanor is absolutely endearing. He's wonderful & so are you Myra! Just adorable couple! Way to be open to love ❤️
Your story is an inspiration to how a relationship should start off. Being friends and enjoying being together and good conversations really seal the deal when going to the next level. It’s a recipe for success.
My husband is 23 years my junior. I had to adjust to the looks, but in retrospect, I think it was really my projected insecurities because I don't notice it now. We've been married 11 years and our relationship just gets better and better. Congratulations to both of you on living your lives to the fullest.
I'm all for following your heart, but let's be real... she knows what she's got. There will be no "growing OLD together", he will be doing that in front of her.
Aw, you two are a cute couple! My husband is almost 19 years older, we've been together over 20 years. We STILL get stared at and criticized. For some reason I thought people would chill out over time but they never did.
Mayra, you're so funny!!! But honestly, this video makes me respect you more. The way you handled the start of your relationship is exemplary. Congratulations to you both!!! True love is hard to find and you have made the best of it! ❤️🤗 -Evette
My husband is 14 years older than me. We dated for 5 years, he proposed 2 times, the third time I said yes, I also had a problem with his age and his looks. It finally made sense to me, he is just perfect for me. We are great friends, we connect well and we love each other so much.
I totally understand what you mean about the stares. I am 50 and my fiance is 31 we have been together for 10 years. We were friends at first we met at work. We clicked as friends and it grew into a relationship. ❤️Congratulations to the both of you. You both look very happy❤️. Our wedding is 08/22/2022.❤️
She deff seems shy about it, but honestly, I think if she just stays confident in her choice people might judge but at least she can be proud of her fiance. He seems like a nice guy who genuinely loves her, and wants to take car of her. She shouldn't be ashamed if thats her choice, she should just be cool about it. He seems to be handling it pretty well demeanor wise and everything 😃
For some reason, I'd always been attracted to men older than me. With 2 of them, there was a big age difference. The one I stayed with was like 17 or 18 years older than me, and it was a great relationship and we remained a solid happy couple, until he passed away. We didn't marry and were free to leave each other at any time. We were together until the end, which was 23 years. No regrets. I liked to tell people I was still "interviewing him", and that we were shackin' up. Great, loving relationship.
I love your LOVE story ❤️ I fell in love with an older man too. 20 years my senior. We got married after 10 years of meeting. I completely love the way you guys look at each other. So cute! 😍
What a wonderful love story. Age is just a number, don’t listen to those that judge, you do what’s right for you, the heart wants what the heat wants and you two look amazing together. God bless you and your family ❤️❤️
Me and my husband are 11 years apart.. we are honestly so happy together and we both have gone through really tough times together as well as good times .. we love each other and I wish that for everyone looking for love is a faithful and amazing partner ❤️
When I meet my husband our first date lasted almost 24 hours ! Than I moved in 4 months later We have been married 11 years together 15 He’s 10 years older but when it clicks it clicks He’s the love of my life
Awwwww this is so sweet! My hubby is 16 years older than me... we've been together 34 years and married 16 of those years... perfect connection and going strong... seems your relationship is a perfect connection too!!
@@truthseeker5941 Mayra has the Power of Pussy! She got tired of being Jerked around by young guys that all they wanted was a one night stand! They fell in Love, because he has a fun personality and they have fun together! Screw all you guys that think it is only about money! My wife is 41 years younger and never asked me for money, She has a great government job teaching. The Best match is young with old! My Mom said age is just a number and she lived to 107! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! First thing I looked for was a nice body and honesty,trust, good values, from a good family and Love above all! 8 years to find with God’s help most of all. All those girlfriends were just too taxing……..
@@danielstehura9657 Well good for you and for your information all women have the "power of the pussy." LOL. You said it best "the first thing you looked for was a nice body" typical male agenda. Just like women like a man that has money, I didn't say they would not love the man... Money makes it easier to deal with the responsibilities of a relationship. LOL. Enjoy your life...

Congrats to the 2 of you. My husband is 22 years my senior also (I'm 35, he's 57). We have a 9 year old son and just had our 2nd son last year. He's an amazing husband and father. :) Best decision of my life. Both families accepted and loved us after their initial shock, haha.
same here im 34 and he's 57 as well ill be turning 35 in November im happy for you and your family
@@vanessamontgomery9156 so sweet! Thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy for you as well! ❤
Same here! I’m 31 and he’s 53 almost 11 years together and 2 beautiful kids ❤️
Yes it seems to work as long as it’s the women who are the young ones in the relationship- it’s no big deal- you can still have children- it’s not so easy the other way round
Same age difference as my parents.
Reminds me of my Mom and Dad. Same 28yrs gap...been married for like 30 yrs. I want the same kind of love. GOALS!!!
Mayra and Donny compliment each other, the best part of it is that you guys built a friendship first that made the foundation to the commitment to your next step in your guy’s future.
when i saw 34 yr age gap i was like, "dayum!" but you guys are super cute together and mesh so well! i'm so happy for you!
Seven years together than there must be more stories to tell! This was too short! You guys are too cute!
You are so sweet, thank you! We have so many stories, you can't even imagine 😆
I agree, they are too cute together. I love Donnies down to earth attitude and it fits so perfectly with Mayra. These two are awesome. I am hoping we get to see Donnie put on an apron and be Mayras assistant chef in the future for some episodes
@@LowCarbLove You tuber viewers love story time!!
@@LowCarbLove how are you guys doing today?
Baby girl your happiness is priority, don't worry about people that are judgemental. You live your life and be happy on your terms, Don seems like a really nice man. Stay happy and blessed both of you! ❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Aww, thank you so much babe! At first, it was definitely hard hearing all the comments but we've developed very tough skin and it really doesn't affect me anymore because I know how I feel ❤️We love you!
Mom..it's a MAN this time😉
Your happiness makes me happy to know you both are happy!!! That’s all that matters babe!
😆 that's what they all say.
Ann Seebalack nice to see another Canadian here. I am in the US now but knew some people with the same last name in Winnipeg. Love watching Mayra and Donnie. I agree 100% As long as they are happy together it should not bother anyone else!
I love how honest you were about how worried you were about the age gap! But you guys are so cute together and you can tell there is genuine love and respect there. Great storytelling btw.
This is so sweet. Someone once described meeting the love of their life as "We started a conversation and the conversation never stopped." That's how I'll know when I find the one.
My husband is 16 years older than I am. We have been married 26 years. Our first date was a 4 hour phone call. We still talk for hours and hours. I hope you meet someone who you connect with like that.
Thank you Tiffany and I'm so happy for you
I really love how Donnie lets you take the lead, he treats you like his queen!!
He really does ❤️
He lets her lead because he’s tired …… I’m his age believe me it’s exhaustion that allows him to let her take the helm 😂 lol!!!!!
@poo pootub absolutely!!!!!
He's old, rich and living his best life...7 years dating...I'd shut up too. It's a win win for him. 34y gap please. 36-70....is still amazing.
@poo pootub Exactly bro
He's such a charmer, and she's so sweet. Beautiful couple. Age ain't nothing but a number.
I’m 16 years older then my husband. It’s no big deal except a lot of people think I’m his mother. Love is Love
I know how you feel, I'm 27yrs older than my husband and I get the same all the time, is this you son 😡 but it's acceptable with no questions for a man to be 25yrs or more older.
Starting out as friends is sooo important! Good for you two. And you are so cute together.
My parents were about 30 years apart. They were happy and they didn't care what other people said. I am happy you found someone because girl life is too short. Thank you for what you do sharing your recipe
What do u mean by WERE???!
My parents were 23 years apart. They had a beautiful relationship. I love your story! Thank you for sharing it with us. 💝
Donnie looks like he has such a young soul
I agree!
He really is! Everyone thinks I'm the one with energy, but it's really Donnie that keeps me young 😂
That glow 👑✨
@@LowCarbLove haha, I wish you two all the best!
My husband’s brother just turned 81, and his wife is 44. They are the cutest couple ever! She just became an RN so she can take care of him as his health is failing. She said it’s just made their love stronger. Love is love regardless of age.
I really enjoyed hearing your how-we-met story. Best relationship I ever had we were 22 years apart, together for five years, and made so many beautiful memories together. Old soul-meets-young-at-heart is always a win.
Love it! My husband and I are 20 years apart and it never made a difference. Just had our 25 th anniversary and became empty nesters. We wouldn’t change a thing. Congrats on the engagement!❤️❤️
What a great story. I can relate to this, my husband is also 34 years older than me. We been together for 17 years. I’m very happy with our relationship, no regrets. Age is just a number. Congratulations!❤️
Imagine your 2 year old daughter riding a 38 year old man...? That's what its like
God bless ya'll
Wow that’s incredible. I’m dating a guy who is 27 years older and I thought that was a huge gap ❤️
@@Tionaintown876 As long as you are attracted to him, so why not.
@@Tionaintown876 your dad?
My husband is 17 years younger than me. I felt the same as the age gap wasn’t an issue to me but it was on my mind because of the outside world, their perception and people’s judgemental reactions that made me feel like I had to reconsider this amazing man . We we’re also friends first, for almost a year before I allowed things to be intimate. Money was also never a part our friendship/dating life. It’s been 4 years that we’re together and when I meet new people, they don’t know anything about us other than the age gap but still feel the need to put in their two cents like they’re saving me from something. I just tell them…I’m happy, he’s happy, maybe you should focus on your own life.
17 years? You could be his mother.
@@ladydeanna3775 you don’t have the same energy for a man being older ?
@@Nazey09 what? I prefer a man my age from my era so that we have something in common. Not more than 5 years older and not more than 3 years younger than myself.
My aunt was neary 20 years older than my blood uncle. She was widowed with two grown twins close to my uncle's age. He had never been married. They met when he was in the Army Air Corp. And she was a secretary. He was bald and looked older than his age. When they got married my grandmother flipped out. They had a child and was married for over 50 years. He was a good man and treated her like a queen, and she was the kindest and most loving person anyone could ever know. She passed away 14 years ago and I miss her loving spirit, and now 10 yrs ago my uncle joined her in heaven. Love doesn't have an age. ❤
Oh
I support love, the new paradigm, where we don’t have to
“Be” with people who look like us but we are with who we want. Congrats 🎊
My husband is 12 years younger than me, 25 years together! Best guy ever! Age is just a number, be happy, never listen to negetive people. Love your story, love your videos, love ❤️ your channel.
Now you have kids
This really helped me. My Bf is 14 years younger that me. I worry about it all the time. We’ve been together 2 years and I am the happiest I’ve been with anyone.
@@katiefitz79 I don’t know why people accept men being older but not men being younger. 12-15 yrs is nothing. I need a younger man in order for them to keep up with me. What ever makes you both happy. I’m very athletic so you get works better for me.
@@katiefitz79 when did you actually knew each other and when did you actually started having feelings?
When did you actually meet each other and when did you actually have feelings?
A love story is a love story is a love story! When it’s right, it’s right. It works when both people love and respect each other. I’m 9 1/2 years older than my husband. And yes, as a woman I was bashed for dating a younger man. It was a really big deal for me. But 35 years later, it’s still about us. Enjoy being in love. Live your best life. Love you guys, be blessed.
You both are very respectful and accepting of one another in the ways that make any relationship so admirable. Donnie seems to be your best friend in every way and you seem to be embracing the joy in a man who embraces every aspect of what makes you beautiful inside and out! Keep enjoying being appreciated and treasuring the moments that make life sweet!
Happiness is what matters most and is hard to find now! REAL MEN! Keep it real girl!
I loved this story time . Isn’t it interesting that we pay so much thought into what others think? Life is too short , what truly matters is you are happy . I’d like another story time of how both your families reacted
well said thank you
I would loove to hear about Donnie and Nati's relationship and how you (mayra) made sure the balance was there between them. As A step parent myself I would enjoy a conversation about that.
Yes! I definitely want to talk more about this! Will put this on our list ❤️
Yes!
Who is nati?
@@JJ-uf1ml her daughter
I was wondering the same thing…how you first introduced them and what she thought of him and how their relationship has grown!
He seems so sweet and you seem so happy! Age is just a number! Happiness is everything ! Hang onto that love and don’t care what anyone has to say ❤️ how someone treats you speaks volumes, and you 2 seem to be quite smitten by each other!
The chemistry between the two of you is palatable. You find love in unusual places congratulations to you both.
You two seem very happy together. These days an age difference is less evident because older people are taking very good care of themselves. It's a blessing to find symmetry and can I say love?❤
If your reading this right now I hope something wonderful unexpectedly happens to you🧡
Some women look past age to assets….
Congratulations to you both! I'm 46 and my husband is 29. We met 3 yrs ago, and have been married for for 6 months. The 17 yr age gap was hard to get over, but quickly it wasn't a thing. We just joke about it now. He's the best person I've ever been with, most guys around my age are still very immature. My husband treated me like a queen when I met him when he was 26. And still does ♥️
You look
Amazing on your profile
Picture!! I am
Sure he is a lucky man!!
Thank you for giving me hope, not al younger guys are ok with the age gap sadly, I am casually seeing one and he says I am a catch and treats me great and all but wont date me long term cause of our age gap, I am not pushing it. I am walking away kindly and opening up my heart to others that won't mind the gap.
Maybe the problem is that you specifically only want to date someone younger. It should be about the heart, why exclude someone just because they are closer to your age. It usually does not work out in the long run when the woman is much older because women generally age more rapidly at a certain point. At some point you lose your sexiness and the guy is still young enough to attract a sexy woman.
@@lw6323 That's not true at all. It's all about care!
@@lw6323 many women look really good older, and many men do not. Plus women on average tend to live longer than men, so the age difference can be really nice all the way around!
Money…really. They both are sharing their story, much appreciate you being open. Happy to hear you became really goods friends and company. Gracias ! 🙏🏼
Omg you guys are too cute. I found myself smiling the entire video.Congratulations on your engagement.
As long as you both are happy with each other is all that matters. There are too many people in the world without a special someone. Love has no age, love is timeless. Forget what people think of your age difference. Congratulations!!! Best of love to you ❤
I would love to hear about how y’all went about introducing each other to each other’s families and when y’all decided it was time to move in and how your daughter handled it.
Therapy is the only solution to daddy issues
Lol
I love seeing your relationship. I’ve always felt strongly that age is not a factor when it comes to love. It’s all about finding the right person. It’s your life and if it makes you happy, then do it. And yessss! More videos!!
Aw guys. I'm 52 and my boyfriend is 26. We spoke for a whole year and we just bonded and he said I love you first and it just came natural to say it back and we have been together for two years now. He is my rock he has an old soul and a beautiful heart. Kudos to you guys don't care about what people think. Be happy and love each other. ❤️❤️❤️
You should be ashamed of ya self!
Pedo
Girl my husband and I were introduced on fb by a mutual friend. Our first phone call was 9 hours!! I got off the phone and told my parents he was the one! We had our first date 3 nights later, and married 6 months after that! 3 kids later(plus his 2 from previous marriage) and we celebrate 13 years this year!❤️
I can't imagine talking to ANYBODY for nine hours. WOW
Should have made it a podcast
Are his kids older than you
Is he 35 years older??
I once talked to my bf for 10 hours straight lol.
I know the feeling ❤️ happy for you, stay blessed
The only problem with a 34 year age difference is it’s like having a pet, you know you’re going to outlive it.
Exactly
🤣🤣🤣
And you can’t grow old together 😢
You would think but life can be so unpredictable. I’ve seen it throw many people for a loop.
So this was nice! "Intimacy is not sex," says Teal Swan. And although we don't believe the same thing as far as spirituality goes, I can definitely agree with that, and a few other things. I think it is all the little things, especially deep conversations and agreements, and finally friendship that you share. You can tell that you guys are really great friends and enjoy being around each other. If someone is older than you that means they will have so much more to talk about and experiences to share!
My husband and I have a 33 year gap. The age difference was hard for me for a really long time also. At the same time, both of us were in a healing process from many things from the past and as we fell in love we helped to heal each other. It was also challenging for his adult children but over time it got better. Thanks for sharing your story. Also, my hubby is also a Don 💕
That's codependency not love.
@@yoya4766 plenty of non age gap couples have the same dynamic. Do you condescend them in the same manner, or does it just bother you to picture a grey haired dude absolutely railing our fave low carb queen?
@@doesnotFempute did i say they didn't? I guess 'grey haired dude' isn't condescending! Seems the ik is coming from you.
The way he talks about you girl Donnie loves you so much. I could see the love radiate from both of you. Love you both.
We are so in love ❤️
He love’s her ❤️ most definitely She is one lucky 🍀 woman & Blessed who cares about age.
I genuinely don't like to comment on others happiness, but he said himself that the first thing he noticed was how little her outfit was, how young she looked, and that he thought she could have been in her early 20s...
Reminds me of the man who groomed me when I was 14. Imma just say it.
Yeah, just 15 years older
You are so lucky to have found someone who Loves you, Respects you and Values you as a person, woman, mother and as a business owner. May God bless you both always. 💕💕
I have been following you for so many years and let me tell you I always felt awkward about you and donnies age gap but not after this video. I can truly see that you guys connect so well and love each other and donnie seems like so much fun and has a very young personality. I hope you guys stay blessed and last forever!
I Loved This! Thanks for sharing guys! I thought my 10 year age gap was difficult to overcome our difference's.. but, wow, you two obviously belong together. I truly believe it is more common then people realize.. and I love it. We're all just people that need to be loved❤️💕❤️💕❤️
She’s gorgeous, who wouldn’t fall for that heart. You both make a beautiful couple, may you have a beautiful life together! Blessings!
So happy for both of you! The love of my life was thirty years older then I was, he's in heaven now, but I see evidence of his love to me very often. Love is eternal.
I absolutely love your story! I also had a much older husband and we had a beautiful family. He passed three years ago. My family & I cherish the memories with him. ❤️
👉🏿😢😥😭😭😭😰😰🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏿🙏🙏🙏🏿👈🏻
Sorry for the loss. Find courage!
You two are so sweet and I can relate to some of this. In my relationship I'm the older one by 26 years. My partner has been mistaken for my son more than once and I've lost a lot of "friends" over my decision. We've been together over 3 years now and are engaged despite the judgemental challenges.
Thanks for being inspiring!

Poor kid. He’s been gr00med by an oId woman. What is he? Like 25? And you met him at 22? Jesus Christ. You can’t even give him kids coz ur that oId 😂

That is such an awesome story! It took me 38.4 years to find my soul mate, so I know how that goes.
Go Donny! You prove that any age gap can work. And donnys confidence & young demeanor is absolutely endearing. He's wonderful & so are you Myra! Just adorable couple! Way to be open to love ❤️
Donny you might be older but you don't act old, good for you to meet the love of your life!
Your story is an inspiration to how a relationship should start off. Being friends and enjoying being together and good conversations really seal the deal when going to the next level. It’s a recipe for success.
My husband is 23 years my junior. I had to adjust to the looks, but in retrospect, I think it was really my projected insecurities because I don't notice it now. We've been married 11 years and our relationship just gets better and better. Congratulations to both of you on living your lives to the fullest.
I think my future husband would likely be younger than me as well
That’s interesting- it’s usually the man who is older - it’s no surprise that a man would want a younger woman!!

I agree, she handled that very well and maturely. She just decided to go with the flow and it paid off 😉 for the both of them.
My husband is 14 years older than me. We dated for 5 years, he proposed 2 times, the third time I said yes, I also had a problem with his age and his looks. It finally made sense to me, he is just perfect for me. We are great friends, we connect well and we love each other so much.
Wow what a backhanded compliment
“I settled “
What was wrong with his looks?
@@coz7891 he was old looking
You guys are the cutest. The age difference is not even noticeable when you guys are together.
I totally understand what you mean about the stares. I am 50 and my fiance is 31 we have been together for 10 years. We were friends at first we met at work. We clicked as friends and it grew into a relationship. ❤️Congratulations to the both of you. You both look very happy❤️. Our wedding is 08/22/2022.❤️
My husband and I have a 30+ year age gap, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Blessings to you all!
She deff seems shy about it, but honestly, I think if she just stays confident in her choice people might judge but at least she can be proud of her fiance. He seems like a nice guy who genuinely loves her, and wants to take car of her. She shouldn't be ashamed if thats her choice, she should just be cool about it. He seems to be handling it pretty well demeanor wise and everything 😃
To see the respect you have for each other is beautiful
More of your story, when you introduce Nati , and all that. When you moved in All of it make it longer we are here for it girl!
It sounds like she wasn't that interested until the trips started adding up
For some reason, I'd always been attracted to men older than me. With 2 of them, there was a big age difference. The one I stayed with was like 17 or 18 years older than me, and it was a great relationship and we remained a solid happy couple, until he passed away. We didn't marry and were free to leave each other at any time. We were together until the end, which was 23 years. No regrets. I liked to tell people I was still "interviewing him", and that we were shackin' up. Great, loving relationship.
Same here. I heard they weren’t together anymore. I hope that’s wrong
I love your LOVE story ❤️ I fell in love with an older man too. 20 years my senior. We got married after 10 years of meeting. I completely love the way you guys look at each other. So cute! 😍
What a wonderful love story. Age is just a number, don’t listen to those that judge, you do what’s right for you, the heart wants what the heat wants and you two look amazing together. God bless you and your family ❤️❤️
Me and my husband are 11 years apart.. we are honestly so happy together and we both have gone through really tough times together as well as good times .. we love each other and I wish that for everyone looking for love is a faithful and amazing partner ❤️
