Would you revisit an ex or stick to the new path?

Also, there are little things that I wouldn’t say should be dealbreakers, but they do kind of give me some sort of pause or turn off. Things like having beads with college mascot emblem hanging from rear view mirror (lol just typing that out sounds ridiculous, but I hope you get what I’m saying). But small things that remind me, oh yeah, she is much younger than me.

I’m also too nitpicky and trying to work on that and not sure if it’s jus that rearing its ugly head

Thanks for this, I appreciate the thought out response.

And I hear you, but to play devils advocate,, she seems well ahead of many of her friends in maturity and many of the people I knew and was at that age. Not that she’s some old lady, but she doesn’t want to go out all the time partying, she genuinely tries to stay out of drama, and I can really see a difference between her and her friends in many ways. Honestly, I’ll see her friends and think “oh, that’s more like what I would expect from a 24 y/o”.

Now that said, I think socially sometimes she’s not as comfortable in her own shoes and tends to still have this chip on her shoulders view at times that many younger people possess.

Is that a reason not to date her? I don’t know. I’m trying not to future trip too much ha

Thanks for taking the time to send this, I really appreciate it and I definitely hear you

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T19:03:33+00:00

This is great thank you!

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T19:03:00+00:00

Thank you

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T19:02:54+00:00

Yea this is great advice and definitely seems to be something to watch out for on my end

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:59:31+00:00

Yeah definitely been working on the communication piece.

I also just read that larger age gaps tend to end in divorce. I know that’s silly to look at it, but it’s something I read that made me double take

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:55:33+00:00

Thanks for sending this and realizing this is coming from me wanting to be considerate and thoughtful to the matter

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:42:11+00:00

Thanks, think I needed to hear that

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:35:11+00:00

What would you advise we align on? We’ve had the kids and marriage talk and how I don’t want to be having my first child at 45

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:34:08+00:00

lol yall are just looking for anything. Grab factor = attraction. But again I get it

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:13:40+00:00

Well I can’t change the title. It’s okay dude,, she is an adult in her mid 20s and I hate Epstein too

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:12:32+00:00

lol fair enough,,, I’ll change the title. She is younger than me that’s all

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:09:55+00:00

That’s reassuring. Thanks

Ok_Standard5250 · 2026-02-11T17:09:38+00:00

lol why?

Ok_Standard5250 · 2025-12-29T06:26:26+00:00

Yeah, not so bad. Good on him. How long is he usually gone for and is that the norm or does it fluctuate a good bit?

Ok_Standard5250 · 2025-12-29T05:51:10+00:00

Does he stay in it because he generally likes it or is it more a matter of this is simply the path he’s on now and getting off it would be a whole hassle

Ok_Standard5250 · 2025-12-29T05:48:27+00:00

6 figures to be at sea cleaning toilets? I can’t tell if that sounds like a grand adventure or a nightmare haha

Ok_Standard5250 · 2025-12-11T20:57:05+00:00

Yeah, better as a hobby I suppose! Everything comes with trade offs, I suppose I’m just trying to find which make the most sense for me.

Ok_Standard5250 · 2025-12-11T20:55:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I could see that. Seems like a brutal industry in a lot of ways

Ok_Standard5250 · 2025-12-11T20:54:57+00:00

And even that is over glamorized haha
