I mean, if you love each other then you have X amount of wonderful years together with a partner you love. That’s awesome, many people are stuck with partners they don’t love or no partners. You could also drop dead from an aneurysm in 3 weeks.
I don’t understand the question, is it whether you should separate because of age gap?
My view is take the good that you can from the world and just love and enjoy it.

Mgr1 is correct. Plus side is either you get to retire when he does (obviously $$$ dependent) or you have a house husband the last few years you work.
You could be with a guy your age who has a stroke or heart attack. You current guy could outlive you.
Bigger thing would be if you wanted kids and he didn't
It’s not a big deal. I used to date someone in a similar age gap. Good thing about it was that he didn’t come off as old. Sure there were things he’d rather do differently than my younger self would’ve wanted but over time, we learned to adjust and compromise. Only thing that might play a concerning factor is health issues but I’d recommend yall keep your fitness and diet up so the age gap that he has doesn’t start to weigh down later on to where it shows significantly that he is older.
I don’t have such partner so coming from hypothetical viewpoint.
As long as your partner is healthy and mentally young (ie still eager to explore, be curious, play or otherwise match your energy levels) there’s no issue.
But please invest in his health now. Obviously you can’t control everything but at least things that are preventable by lifestyle you should do. That way you won’t be having to take care of a disabled person…

I recently met a 20 yr old woman engaged to a 50 yr old man. She is totally in love and happy as a clam. Your age gap is not much compared to this.

Ahhh yes, someone who was a child last year with a grandfather…
Enjoy the relationship. A lot of things can happen between now and then. A who's to say that he will be unhealthy or look older than you as you age. I would focus less on the age gap with assumptions that may not pan out the way you expect and instead focus on the relationship today and whether you feel like you woukdcwant to commit to him.
