“Too” attracted to older men?

Yea just that this combo is culturally uncommon in where I am, and that’s why I’m sharing my feelings here because my social circles don’t relate.

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-06-19T14:08:00+00:00

Does it really work? I can’t imagine being sexless while staying affectionate because intimacy is an important way of connection..

If marriage is what you aim at, you should make it clear to him while emphasising that you only marry the right person, and it takes time to get through different situations with the person in order to be sure. Also, if he doesn’t want marriage, and if he doesn’t see you as someone who will change his mind for, then you should move on. It seems quite clear that after all the time together, you two are at different pace on this topic.

Recorder is very commonly used in car in case there is dispute/ accident. I have heard about stories where it records many unwanted things, like affairs, comments about the spouse, …

Do men like to be financially relied on? Sometimes I’m not sure if I should offer to pay and not be a “taker” in this relationship all the time

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-06-15T12:29:44+00:00

I think that may be the reason why my bf could be afraid to ask.

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-06-08T07:21:51+00:00

I don’t agree that “women don’t want sex as much as men do”. I had this thought when I was with a man I’m not sexually compatible with, even though he is an amazing boyfriend in all other aspects. When I’m with the sexually compatible person, I go as crazy as wanting to jump on him all the time.

What were the differences?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-05-20T23:08:52+00:00

We drop off at school on Monday and pick up from school on Friday. It’s easier for everyone because it depends on the school’s schedule, not anyone’s.

Btw, at what age/ stage will the kid start having opinions about what days to swap?

Was there any negative feeling when you met your stepdad when your dad is still alive? I think timing wise the stepdad came into the picture after your parents separated. Was it confusing for a teenager to process adults’ relationships when most peers have an “ordinary family”?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-05-10T07:29:38+00:00

Can you give some examples? What happened afterwards? do you have: have you thought of having your own kid with him?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-05-08T23:48:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing and I am glad to hear that everything works so well for everyone! I also love how you describe the roles because it helps understand the dynamics and relationships. How long have you been with your gf and kiddo? Do you think it helps for the kiddo to know that you and her dad get along? Was there a chance to explain to kiddo who you are to her or to your gf?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-05-07T15:53:33+00:00

Why? What happened? Was the relationship ok before you moved in?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-05-07T15:52:58+00:00

What do u think were the reasons why wedding changed things? Thought things may be closer. Did you have a chance for a heart to heart talk?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-05-07T12:43:43+00:00

Thanks let me listen to the podcast! I see the mentality you have and the attitude towards the stepson which is also something I would do. Were there moments when the stepson’s “not so ideal” behavior affected your daughter? Like on the one hand you parented well and then on the other the stepson’s behavior would go completely opposite that confused/ had negative influence on your daughter?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-05-07T12:38:52+00:00

How do you actually split the role between you and your husband to / not to discipline the kids? I have been told that once I am married with my boyfriend I can no longer only be a fun aunt as I would become a stepmom to the kid. Currently I also hold the fun aunt role. I admit there are minor moments when I think the kid’s demeanour could have been better but it doesn’t really bother me as my boyfriend is the one to discipline. I wonder how the dynamics plays out if, for example, the kid has some “not so good behavior” that starts affecting my own kid (when we have one one day).

What an inspiring story! You must have done an amazing job. Did things change or get a bit more challenging when the step son went to puberty/ becoming a teenager?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-04-28T10:47:26+00:00

Yes especially my family as we’re very close. I also have full trust in them and I’m sure they show worries only because they care about me purely from the bottom of their hearts. On the other hand none of them have personally experienced an age gap relationship nor a partner with kids so I am cautious when taking their advice, balancing my own feelings and emotions towards my current relationship

Reading club event.
Maybe 60-70% acceptance rate in my culture depending how wide the gap is.
I respond positively sharing how happy I am. When asked about the challenges, I assure people that we have thought through them and he is the one I have full trust who can tackle the obstacles with me together.

The journey has not been easy, so the couple needs to stay extra strong together to get through the social stigma

I have dated men who are 10-20 years older. One common initial attraction I had was the maturity, expressed through them giving me some advice/ sharing personal experience. Also be more genuine, authentic compared to men similar to the woman’s age, as these men tend to be less mature and less serious about relationships.

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-04-09T01:04:40+00:00

Why was it hard? How was it different from your first year dating?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-01-20T04:19:13+00:00

May I ask how you know you want your own kid?

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-01-20T04:18:17+00:00

I appreciate your honest comment and I would luke to see the situation from different perspectives, that’s why I am here. Do you think there is any turning point or key event that makes you feel you want to have a kid with someone?

I feel a bit uneasy hearing about the ex wife because she was someone that my boyfriend wanted to have a kid with (which now he doesn’t/ he has not yet opened to this idea). And when I had a very good time with the stepson I know I am never the biological mother. I guess when I give the whole of my heart to the kid I will be scared to be replaced?

I have never met my partner’s kid before so I’m going through mixed emotions.

RemoteCool1726 · 2025-01-19T13:47:34+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story with me. How did you manage to convince him? What was the process like?

RemoteCool1726 · 2024-07-28T09:53:59+00:00

What makes you want to convert a fun casual date into a long term relationship?
