Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Look honey, you do you. If this 60+ year old man makes you happy, that's all that matters! Age is just a number anyway. Now if one of you guys was a minor, that would be another story. Luckily, you're both free to do whatever your hearts desire.

It is not wrong for two people to enjoy each other's company and/or be romantically involved when each is not betraying anyone else. Wide age gaps may have challenges, but all relationships have challenges. If each of you is respectful of each other's needs, and you are not hurting anyone, there is really not much difference than dating someone your own age in a healthy way. It might be wise to consider how each other's needs and desires might be different at different ages/stages of life, especially if the relationship is serious and there is a possibility of long-term future together.

No it's not. As long as you don't violate any laws when it comes to this man, you're good. People will talk nonetheless it's your happiness, not them. As long as you're happy then it is not wrong. You're just in a society with judgemental people. Don't let toxic people control your life.

Love has no age. A very cliché line but it is true to its every word. If you are seeing anyone like that there is nothing wrong in it! Infact it shows that how much you appreciate inner beauty, intellect and everything what makes a person complete more than outer/superficial traits. I am sure at this point you must be apprehensive about what the society would think of your relationship and that is normal because our society is not used to accepting situations which are not according to the rules made by them. But here you will have to be strong and realise the fact that what they say shouldn't bother you at all. Because in the end it is us who make up this society and if we succumb to it's rule then who will reform the unjust stuffs? So step up, take a stand for yourself and prioritise your self by loving freely to the person you love. May the force be with you!

You are a grown adult, he is a grown adult. It really determines on what your views of this are. Not anyone else's because they don't have any influence on the relationship or how things will go. If it feels right for you then it's not wrong. If at any point it makes you uncomfortable or it makes you feel negatively then I suggest having a discussion to fix it or come to a solution, but to ask if it's "wrong" is relative to your views. After all, you are the one seeing him and who will have feelings for him, not us. :)
