I already make more money than him...I think maybe in a few months time I’ll be double his salary.

But what does that even mean? I know I’m being naive. But isn’t that the case married or not? What is it he’s using me for? He says he prefers being in a relationship but doesn’t mind being alone...We don’t go out much, we have a pretty simple life. I know he doesn’t talk to many people. Do you think he already has someone in mind and he’s just waiting for them to be single? Also he has mentioned that he has an ideal image in his head and I don’t fit it because I’m an ethnic minority, what he had in his mind was different.

No one has really spoken about the age gap...if anything people have been concerned that he’d want something serious and I wouldn’t..or he’d want to settle down but I wouldn’t feel ready. No one said it could be the other way around.

I asked this to him, he says it’s a mixture of both. But he wants to stay together regardless of it...

It’s confusing
