<human>: Hi there everyone,

About a year and a half ago a woman started working where I work. Over the last year and a half we have been seeing each other now and again but never talked about where it was going.

As time went on I started to have stronger feelings for her and about a month ago we had a chat, sat down and discussed the positives and negatives of starting up a relationship. We have been at a relationship for a month and I'm loving it, I'm falling in love with her.

The age gap doesn't bother me now, my main concern is the future. When I'm 30, she'll be 47. When I'm 40, she'll be 57 and so on and so on. When you start getting to 70 and 87, it scares the crap out of me.

It's not her looks fading and all that I'm worried about, I'm worried that because I'm 17 years younger than her, she'll pass away long before me and I'll be alone.

I know this seems like a very stupid problem and I know it's something that can't be changed. I aired these concerns to her and she replied that she'd understand if I ended it (but she would be very upset about it and doesn't want to lose me), but I can't imagine doing that, I couldn't be without her.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Love a woman 17 years older than me, worried about the fact she'll pass away long before me. How do I become at ease with that and move past it?
