Dating younger man

My last partner was 8 years younger than me and he pinched my birthday too that felt weird someone else getting greetings and cards on my day (I normally am a great sharer of anything but it did feel weird and I never quite got to feel comfortable inwardly) I was in my 50 s
The age difference was not a problem as I remember it , the relationship however was and after 8 years we split acrimoniously he very very quickly found a wife followed by a child

I think the bit to concern you is not the age difference but the fact that he doesn’t acknowledge you in public that would be a big warning sign for me Even if he’s a private man who doesn’t show affection in public you would expect him to be a bit more ‘together’ than you say however 2 months is a very short time and perhaps he’s a cautious man or maybe been hurt before and taking it slowly

Ask him

If this were reversed and the man 9 years older would anyone comment? No they wouldn’t.
I would be concerned that he doesn’t acknowledge a relationship when in company.
Speak to him.

I echo Shelflife and those comments. I think it would bother me that he was pretty much ignoring me in public. That does need addressing.

Relationship!

9 years difference is no that much!
In your situation what would concern me more is his apparent refusal to acknowledge your relationship to others - that needs addressing asap! If he is unable to do that I think you should reconsider your relay with him . Good luck .

As hithere said forget about the age difference.

If a friend was seeing someone who refused to acknowledge them when they were out with other friends what would you advise Them to do?

Sit down and have a chat with him about it, if he wants it to be a secret then I think you have a problem. Whatever age he is.

Why not give it a chance?

Forget about the age.
Do you see potential with him as a couple?
