You know the saying don’t date someone way older than you while I did not listen what else is new with me. My boyfriend 31 who is graduating this winter with a film degree is 11 years older than me and his family loves me but mine is a different story. Like how am I going to say I feel for someone who is older than my siblings and is close to my mother’s age then mine own? I try to think of ways to make them feel okay with it since my last relationship ended with me getting back surgery due to a car accident.
I know my family is just thinking about what is best for me but he does take care of me by making sure I eat something and that when I want to for a walk at night that he comes along with me to make nothing happens. He even facetime me when I have to go home for the weekend since he knows I already don’t get along with my family that much. I know sometimes my attitude does get in away from communicating my emotions with him since it’s something we did not do in my family since emotions were for the weak and I know since going to therapy it is not for the weak. I think in a relationship like mine it is for the best to talk about feelings and since we will be doing long distances until I graduate next year it is something both of us have to work on since I think communicating with each other this the biggest thing to do in a relationship. I know my family will like him since he hasn’t done anything to hurt me in the three months we have been dating and I know age really doesn’t matter.
