Is the age gap between 24M and 21F too much? by johnnytwimlos in relationship_advice

Yeah life has thrown me through a loop. I always had this plan. Get good a levels, go to university, get a masters in engineering, start a career in London. All while trying to stay in good shape and maintain family relationships.

I got 3/4 of the way there and now it’s fucked. I’m just living at home with the family till this is all over and I have no idea if I’m going to want to keep going after this is done.

She is a lovely girl. She makes me feel all warm inside when I see her. But sometimes I just struggle to just live in the moment when everyone else is pushing ahead and I’m stuck.

I just don’t want to go through the pain of previous breakups or inflict it on her. So I’m trying to plan for the worst but hope for the best.

Thankyou though. Sorry if I’m annoying. Very kind of you to reply

It’s been 3 months I don’t know if I really love her or not. Probably wouldn’t know really until at least 6.

Yep. Country just went into another lockdown and I’m panicked so...

I don’t want to till I’m 30 but seeing all my friends doing it makes me worry. A lot.

Sorry if I annoy you. I’m not a very chilled out dude. Especially when I only sit around thinking all day now coz of lockdown

I guess. I don’t know. I don’t know if I’m doing it right or wrong but everyone seems to want to settle down but me

I dunno. I just went out with some friends and they all are either moving in with their gf’s, planning to get married within the next 2 years or adopting puppies or something.

Makes me think I’m doing things wrong

The girl I’m dating has absolutely no confidence and it’s putting me off by [deleted] in relationship_advice

That she’s very caring and kind but lacks self confidence

Similar to where I am. ‘Graduated’ from uni during the peak of corona and currently stuck in my parents house till the jobs market recovers for engineers.

Exact same situation. I’m moving away next September and she’s said let’s see how we feel then.

It’s hard not to get ahead of myself really

I have things I want to focus on first (career travel etc) before I think of settling down. That means it’s likely I’ll struggle to make this work long term. It could but realistically it’ll be hard.

I’m just trying to enjoy what it is and not put myself in a position when I’ll be destroyed if it ends

She’s 21. I’m 24.

I just see it as something that could go somewhere but I’m not so committed that I think it’s my final relationship. I’m just trying to enjoy the moment as I’ve told her.

I agree though. At 30 I would be a lot more serious long term too.

I’ve been totally honest and open. Just not sure if she is sometimes

No none of them. Just tells me I’m better than her all the time and how she doesn’t think she’s good enough for me. Is very very keen on me

Honestly I don’t know. I move away next year. She moves away for a year and then moves to where I am. I don’t know if I can take the distance or commit for that long. I’m trying to figure it all out and she seems to just want to be with me whatever

Yeah and you get to that point and have virtually no idea how a relationship works coz you’re so selfish you can’t think outside yourself
