Anyone else with a younger, attractive partner?
Hello all, I’m 45 and my long term boyfriend is 37. It’s nothing new to me that I have a preference for younger men but something has now changed: I am becoming more and more conscious of my age, as in the wrinkles, grey hair, the need for rest and sleep, perhaps also the idea of inability to perceive children plays in there too. Should mention here, I am a mother, so I don’t wish for another child anymore, like I did 5-6 years ago.
I am doing quite alright for my age, not on any medications and physically rather in a great shape.
Now my partner is a handsome and outgoing person. He is a medical professional and knows his ABC about health and aging. He looks well above average due to his physique but also slightly older than his real age. Still it’s obvious to anyone that I am elder to him. He parties hard two, three times a week or every day on holidays and prefers fast paced, spontaneous action. For instance I flew 10 hours and he picked me up and took me straight to a club to dance, straight from the airport. Whilst I’m enjoying those things with him, I also feel sometimes drained by it.
How do you handle someone being more energetic and socially extremely outgoing? The feeling to be on a race… in some ways the comparison to 10-15 year younger women who are party queens (and still fertile). His parents hate that we are together because of my age. Can anyone relate?
