What can I do? Advice please!!!

I guess I don't quite understand what your concern is...I know you said it bothers him that people think he's older but, it shouldn't. He is a very handsome man...and if it doesn't bother you then I wouldn't worry so much what others think. Are you older than him? I am 5 yrs older than my husband and people think he's older than me....I LOVE it when people say that!! lol.

Ok, I'm just gonna say this right now..."who cares?" I mean really, you love him for him. He loves you for you. It doesn't matter what his age is or what he looks like for his age.

Ignore the rude comments of others, and go on with your beautiful relationship.

He needs to feel good about himself no matter what his age is and not matter what he looks like. You've found yourself a good man it sounds like and he's lucky to have you too.

He seems very respectful, hard working, honest, and adores you. He could have purple hair for all you care.

Actually, I'm the one with the purple hair...actually it's currently blue

And poor him, he started losing his hair at 17...

It's not a huge problem, just an undercurrent, he knows I love him for him, and 90% of the time I'm sure it doesn't bug him too much, I'm just trying to find another way to get through to him so he'll know without a doubt that it doesn't bother me in the least. One of your jobs in a relationship (in my case I'd say it's more of a privilege, but I'm biased) is that I am supposed to comfort and encourage him, I'm just slightly worried that what I'm doing isn't enough.

And I do have to keep my guard up!!! It seems every time I turn around some girl wants to steal him from me!!! But he swears that I'm the only girl for him, and if you met him you'd see he's not lying, Mum even made a comment last time we were all together that he seems to really like me.
