It sounds like you're facing a situation where there's a five-year age difference, and your parents' disapproval is playing a significant role in your feelings or decisions. I wonder, could you tell me more about how this age difference affects your relationship or your interactions with your parents?
When you mention that the parents' disagreement is a main reason, what kind of concerns or reasons do they have? Are they worried about practical issues, cultural expectations, or perhaps their own feelings about the relationship?
