<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I like to come to this sub to give advice and seek it when needed (for some work and friendship issues), and I've noticed that any time a couple with a difference in ages over a couple of years has a problem, the age difference is the first thing a lot of replies mention. (i.e "*well he's 10/11/12 years older than you what did you expect?!"* or "*She's 9/10/11 years younger you shouldn't be surprised*") 

My 36 BF is a wonderful man and we have 11.5 years between us. He's sweet, smart, funny, sexy and loves me like crazy. He goes out of his way to do little things for me and makes me feel special and loved every single day. He also notices when I do little things to show him how much I care about him and appreciate him. 

We have a lot of common interests and agree on all the important things. When we first started dating I was concerned about the age difference only because my friends said it would be a problem. Now they love him. We've never had any issues.
 
So I'm wondering why a lot of redditors on this sub think that age differences are the be-all-end-all of relationship problems?
<bot>: I'm proof that age differences don't always have to be a major issues, why does this sub seem to think differently?
