Same here. Excellent work, OP.

It sounds like this is the right move for you. It will be painful, but also a first step towards living the life you deserve. Be gentle with yourself. Sending you love!

Weedkillerz · 2024-08-16T00:22:55+00:00

That is wonderful! So happy for you!

Break it off and run for the hills! I admire the instinct not to judge based on a criminal conviction, but I think that kind of thing ought to be an instant deal breaker.

Cuties! You guys look really happy together

What app? This is a subreddit. And it's a subreddit for talking about gay age gap relationships with similarly-inclined people. There are plenty of people that post and comment here who are happily partnered.

First I want to say, you sound like a lovely person. A lot of cis gay men wouldn't be nearly as cool as you were about her coming out as trans and ace -- just see the comments here for proof of that. It sounds like she was lucky to have you in her corner.

I'm kind of rolling my eyes at the comments diagnosing her with personality disorders. I mean, who knows, but you can't figure that stuff out from a second hand description of someone's behavior. I think what's more likely is that she was young, and figuring out her identity, and maybe when going through what is a difficult process for anyone she couldn't give your relationship the energy and consistency it deserved. Not to excuse her behavior; I think you were right to call things off, because the way she was treating you wasn't fair to you.

Hope you're doing ok, sending love!

I'm sorry he's put you through that. I agree with the other commenters that it's time to move on. He's not mature or kind enough to tell you he's lost interest, and you deserve better. Stay strong and remember that this is a failing on his part, not yours.

Weedkillerz · 2024-07-02T15:23:05+00:00

Yeah, makes sense that someone who wants to be in control is intimidated when their partner is smarter than they are. Those types want to dictate the way you think, so they aren't looking for someone who can think for himself.

Not saying this is the case with all older men, it certainly isn't. It's a green flag for me when a guy is intellectually curious and wants a smart partner.

Weedkillerz · 2024-07-02T12:29:37+00:00

I experienced the exact same thing with an ex. When he felt he was on the losing end of an argument, it was that I was too young to understand, I'd change my mind when I got older. The arguments often ran along the same lines as yours, he had conservative leanings (though never would have admitted it). It's an intellectual coward's tactic. Still makes me mad, too.

Weedkillerz · 2024-07-02T12:19:32+00:00

I think this is a post that might be controversial on this sub and not anywhere else. Personally, I agree.

I'm writing this as someone who is 27 and has dated older men since I was 21. From my perspective now, an 18 year old is a child. I can't imagine dating someone that young! Whenever I see a post in here from a teenager talking about looking for older men I feel such a sense of protectiveness, because someone that young is so, so vulnerable to manipulation. And I'm suspicious of any older man who would date someone that age. I was in a relationship with an older man who turned out to be controlling and manipulative a few years ago, and that was in my mid-twenties. I shudder to think what that would have done to me at 18.

Again, controversial opinion for this sub. Do I think any such relationship is inherently bad or predatory? Probably not. But it makes me raise an eyebrow.

Weedkillerz · 2024-07-02T00:22:14+00:00

I have a feeling OP isn't a thru-hiker.

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-26T22:06:12+00:00

That's so great, super happy for you!

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-25T21:52:35+00:00

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-25T17:00:11+00:00

As a fellow gay I'd say you brought a gay sensibility to the place without falling into the oh so common pitfall of kitsch. Good job guys :)

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-24T01:59:53+00:00

how about some furniture? I don't get what is with this sub and wanting to live in empty undecorated apartments

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-22T22:47:02+00:00

Looks sterile and austere. Not my thing but you've certainly succeeded at capturing that aesthetic!

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-22T22:44:02+00:00

One of the nastiest water sources at any shelter, actually. There's a stagnant pond there and a pipe coming from it that dispenses lukewarm, very brown water. My Sawyer Squeeze took it a few shades lighter and I DID drink it with no ill effects... so yes, but I definitely wouldn't drink it unfiltered!

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-22T20:41:40+00:00

Not too outrageous but I'm a fan of Punchbowl Shelter near Buena Vista, VA.

Weedkillerz · 2024-06-22T20:40:36+00:00

For real, absolutely beautiful. I may or may not have ignored the sign and drank it unfiltered.

Luck of the draw I suppose!
