2far2return Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi excuse me jumpi.g right in here. I just turned 43 an my bf is about to turn 24. We have been together since he was 20. I am lost in this realtionship thi.gs are good a day or maybe for a week or two but the bad always comes. I joke an say we are the most disfunctual couple ever. Distructive to the worse way. But reading all this makes me feel like I am not crazy or alone. Thank ypu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtlsngl7 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I did EXACTLY what you are doing dude. My advice? Don't get into a LTR w/ her. She's gonna chew up your youth, and she might be under the impression that you want to settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayanokōji Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Think about how you will feel when you are 40, chances of a long relationship is rather slim unless physical appearance and aging while you still look middle age does not bother you at all...

gwendolyn180 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I am in a similar relationship my self (he is 22 and i am 35) and coming from me i think she just wants to protect herself from getting hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwendolyn180 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 You are much younger than her and insecurites in women increase with the age. Maybe you don't think about the future, but maybe she does and she is scared that sooner or later she won't be able to compete with younger women. And... it is complicated... OMG very true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwendolyn180 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think sometimes women do need a little eye opener. if you tell her your gonna end it maybe that will let her see what she doesn't want to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natasha70 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 sjb6050 I can understand your frustration, but like you mentioned she doesn't want to get hurt again. Once your hurt its hard to gain the confidence to date again so she is probably warning you not to hurt her as she has put her trust in you. I think you should handle it in a mature way and reasure her so she feels confident with you. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwijim Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 My thoughts on age gaps is, If you make eachother happy, go for it. Although not a huge gap, my wife is 10 years my junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
