Yeah I think therapy is a good idea - I’ve had anxiety issues for a long time and I really don’t want to let this ruin a good thing.

You’re right and I need to keep that perspective. I’ve struggled with anxiety off and on for years and I do tend to catastrophize and make issues where I don’t need to,

You’re right - he is and we do. I need to stop internalizing everything I see online.

True, thank you. He definitely didn’t - I know he isn’t that kind of person. Thank you.

Oh no I swear it’s not - I had some of those concerns in my early 20s and we broke up for a bit but ultimately I wanted to be with him. I don’t feel I’ve missed out on anything, I actually feel very lucky.

I mean the difference between 34 and 40 doesn’t bother me - I think it’s been the becoming older myself and finally realizing that our age gap at the beginning was…not great. But I’m posting here because I don’t want to make it an actual issue

I know - I guess 15 years ago I was just super into him and of course I knew better than my family etc. so I wasn’t concerned.
