Idk how to feel about this relationship. Any advice ?
I’m sorta just ranting here and just want to see others thoughts. I’m 25 and my partner is 44 I met him when I was 21. Since we first started talking he has been such a sweetheart to me I have no complaints about his personality or anything like that. The thing is I was using him in the beginning (pretty sure you saw that coming) just to see what I can get out of him which is fucked I know. I feel it was kinda common sense why would a young girl talk to an older man if it wasn’t for money ? That’s sorta how I thought of it cause why would an older man want to talk or be with a young girl for. The other thing tho is he never asked for anything sexual which made it even easier for me it was more about having someone to talk to than anything for him it seemed to me . Well I was seeing him maybe like once every month or two months for like 2 years. Then it went to seeing each other once almost every two weeks for about another year. Now he moved over here where I live which is a pretty big city…. Just for me 🫠 he’s been here about a month now. He left everything he knows just to be closer to me. He has a very good job and just transferred over here. Besides that I sorta fell for him the more time spent together the past 4 years. I didn’t even care about the material stuff. I genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. But in the back of my mind that thought still lingered about our age gap, the way we met, I was using him in the beginning, I was still seeing other people behind his back cause he was a secret. Everything has been amazing since he moved over here I have spent every weekend with him but all I think about sometimes is wow I really did take this too far and fell for an old man. How is someone my age supposed to even compete with him. I can’t even date anymore cause nobody has come close to how he has treated me. I never felt this way for anyone and I never thought it would be someone double my age, he’s like a big teddy bear. But like I said that age gap gets to meeee the secrecy with my family gets me. We go out in public and stuff but I’m always worried what if I see family or they see me. How would I explain this. I feel out of place cause everyone I know is in normal relationships lol. I need advice or opinions. I genuinely care a lot for this man but based on those circumstances I mentioned idk what to do this is way way too deep now
