Ask A Cool Dad: Daughter Dating Someone Who’s Your Age

But spending time with someone less tethered to family obligations and long-entrenched lifestyle demands can feel pretty freeing. Consider French president Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte, his wife of 12 years, who is 25 years older than livelinks com her husband. Or 49-year-old Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, age 60, who chronicle their marriage in their aptly-titled book, The Greatest Love Story Ever Told. Then there’s Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra…you get the picture.

It’s sexy, it’s taboo and elevates both parties to legend status. As much of our generation is delaying activities like marriage and procreating, we are, in effect, also prolonging its adolescence. Without those weightier responsibilities, Millennial boys (or, for the most part, the ones I’ve encountered) are living this suspended fratboy mentality. Oh God, here I go, writing yet another article about relationships I might come to regret a year from now.

He May Have a Different Sex Drive

I definitely do not have a type, i just keep finding great guys…and then finding out their age! While an older man dating a younger woman tends to raise less eyebrows than a woman’s romance with a younger man, the dynamic isn’t exactly stigma-free—particularly when the age gap is significant. I first met my husband when I was 20, he was 51. He was a divorced father of two grown-up kids, both of them are younger than me.

He has pulled away though, he says he loves me but he just cant give up on his dream of having a family, I think maybe his family, or at least his dad, does not approve of me. The thing is, I have always wanted more kids, I just never found anyone I wanted to have them with until now. I never told this man that I wanted a family with him because I wasnt sure it was possible now and because I was scared at first that he would think I was nuts. I know now that although it may not be an easy road I can still have a baby and I want so badly to have a family with him. We are so in tune with each other, love the same things, I have never experienced anything like this before and its amazing, he is amazing. I know God brought us together for a reason, I need to trust in that wherever it leads.

I had pondered, mulled, agonized and deliberated over whether to pursue it. But he ended up ‘making a move’ and I am now really happy. The age difference was my ONLY reservation. If he’d been 34 I wouldn’t have hesitated at all.

Solo Sex is Important; We Confirmed with a Sexologist

When you use expressions like “sexual market value”, you are tipping your hand. And it’s kind of funny to read your derogatory comments, because obviously her SMV isn’t “lot value” to younger men…only bitter older ones. No wonder women are willing to take the risk. If you’re open to just casually dating, you might have a blast with a younger man. And it is entirely possible that you could fall in love with one and have a long and happy relationship.

We are now best friends and he is happily remarried. Ok, I am 25 and I have been messing around with my next door neighbor. She is 38 and just moved in to the building about 6 months ago. She is in the middle of getting a divorce from her husband. We started sleeping together about three months ago on the weekends when her 2 kids went to there fathers for a weekend visit. Now we are sleeping together 5 nights out of seven.

And yes, I do think back when I was in my 30’s, would I be into a serious relationship? So I really each and every minute I spend with him. We are both very open minded with our age and cultural differences and we seem to find a way to embrace that.

I decided to move to move 200 miles away making a really tough decision to let the younger children stay with him . Well nearly 6 months on i am now in a relationship with a 21 nearly 22 year old, the best thing that has ever happened to me, he loves me no matter what, we live together and he takes such good care of me. Ok he can have his childish outbursts but ive seen it all remember !!! And the best bit is now we’ve just found out i am expecting a baby, he is over the moon, i am more worried about how everyone will react considering we haven’t been in the relationship long. But i now know what love feels like and i am at the happiest i have ever been.
