I split with my long term partner at the end of last year and he was 29 years older than me and that was always what people asked me when they found out our age difference! Do you worry about the age gap becoming more problematic as your DP ages? How we met is a tricky one to answer without revealing too much.
Basically I became aware of him and fancied him from afar, so I got in touch and started being a bit flirty. Pub and music based, with mutual friends of all ages. Lots of outdoorsy stuff too. Log in to update your newsletter preferences. As for negative reactions - sometimes.
On his end, his 3 kids the eldest of which is about 8 years younger than me had mixed reactions. The youngest mid-teens was generally fine, but the older two were horrified at first. Reactions from strangers I rarely notice. Do you not feel odd dating someone old enough to be your dad? Do you understand that people might view it as a bit yuck or see him as a dirty or sad old man?
Do you have plans for a retirement together? I have a family member widowed at 60, her dh was 79 and she had all sorts planned for the next 10 years. I'm not sure how long she expected him to live for.
Are you realistic that you know you'll probably be a young widow. Had split up with his ex a couple of years before and lived totally separately, but they continued to sleep with each other on occasion every few weeks. He was using her as a reliable shag when there was nothing else on offer TBH, which is shit and I always told him it was shit.
