This couple had been the subject of rumors and judgmental stares but they don't care. They are very much in love and have been in a steady relationship for almost a year now.
Jill Carpenter, 50-years-old, met 20-year-old Eric Langley on an online dating site. They were instantly connected and got fond of talking to each other. When they finally met, they fell in love with each other and became inseparable since then. According to them, people usually mistake them as mother and son, but they would always flaunt their affection to let them know that they're actually together. When asked about what she liked about Eric, Jill enthusiastically shared: He's very intelligent, is very caring and we have conversations that could go on for hours.
'He's very romantic and says I love you several times a day, he likes to kiss and a lot of men aren't into making out, he also likes to snuggle, it's amazing.
'Plus, we have a great sex life, I think we are real hypersexual, pretty damn freaky for sure.'
Of course, not all people find their relationship as normal. In fact, Eric's parents disapproved their relationship, insisting that Eric should be with someone his age. 'Early on I was still kind of shy about showing affection in public, but Jill would grab me and make out in shopping lines more often, then I learned to relax.
'People stop and stare at us but we don't care, we are just enjoying the moment.
'I've had to let go of a lot of friends because they didn't understand and even my parents asked me why I can't like someone my own age.' he said.
But Eric wants to prove that age doesn't really matter and that he is happy with Jill. 'I don't see young people as attractive, I like the fact that I'm with a mature lady. Friends and family ask a lot of questions about our sex life and I'm keen to dispel the rumors, me and Jill are very sexually active.
'I wish the stigma would end around that.'
Jill agreed with what Eric said, and shared: 'Almost every time we go out and start a conversation people assume he's my son. When people realise we're a couple they often say, "You go girl" and congratulate me.

'If I can tell someone's trying to figure out whether we're a couple I'll slap or squeeze him on the butt or give him a kiss, I think it's funny as hell.
'One time in a grocery store someone said 'Your son is being so helpful', I corrected them immediately and said 'Excuse me, but that's my boyfriend.''
Eric shared that both of his parents are younger than Jill, and said "'My parents are both younger than Jill but they've said that since I've been in a relationship with her it has changed me for the better.
'They did ask me if I wouldn't just prefer someone in their 30s and asked why I want to date someone so much older when I have my whole life ahead of me.
'But this relationship feels like it makes sense, we have an age-gap but we're incredibly happy and talk like we have always known one another.'
According to Jill, the relationship helped her blossom into the woman she always wanted to be. 'He has helped me to discover I love a lot of things I'd not tried before.
'Before I had a lot of anxiety and was never that adventurous, but with Eric he makes me feel really comfortable.
'Also, before I was never into fashion so he likes to dress me, I love it, it takes the pressure off of me.'
Meanwhile, Eric responded with: 'Jill doesn't like me to mention it, but we will have a shorter time together so I want to spend as much time as possible travelling with her.
'Knowing that I could have less time with her is hard to deal with, I met this awesome person but she is older and if all goes well I may not have the time I want to have with her.
'It was love at first sight for me and I know Jill makes me happier than anyone else could.'
