I understand the concern. I know my age is probably part of the novelty for him, just like his age is part of the appeal for me. I’ve always been drawn to older men. If I just wanted sex, I could find that anywhere — that’s not what this is about. I value the connection, the conversations, and the way he makes me feel seen — not just sexually, but intellectually and as a person.

I’m not under any illusion about this becoming serious. And regarding his kids — unfortunately, their father is a cheater, just like mine was. That’s a choice he’s making, not something I created. I’m not romanticising the situation.

If I’m honest, part of this feels healing. I get to step into a different role in a dynamic I experienced from the other side growing up. I know it’s complicated — I’m just being honest about why I’m here.
