DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE met the man of my dreams but there’s a big age gap.

I’m a gay guy of 32 and the man I’ve met is 22.

I’ve had a few relationships before this one.

My last relationship was with a guy of 24 and we split up when he cheated on me.

My family were full of comments about how they “knew it wouldn’t last” and how “immature” he was.

My new boyfriend is everything my ex isn’t.

He’s got a good job, he’s got drive and ambition and he seems really into me too. We also have the same interests.

He’s not the cheating type.

We have booked a holiday together and we’ve even talked about settling down as a couple.

My family is fine with my sexuality, although my dad took a little while to come round to the idea.

He’s got some very old-fashioned views.

I really think this guy is “The One” and I want to introduce him to my family, but I’m scared they’ll judge me.

DEIDRE SAYS: They may, but if you can pre-empt any conversation it will help.

Explain that you’ve met a younger guy and you think the world of him. Tell them all of his good points.

Explain you would appreciate it if they could reserve judgment while they get to know him. Introduce him slowly.
