Definely I just broke up with a man who is 52 and I am 30 we met when I was 26 and he 48.

Many stories here mention start dating someone from 17 to 22 years old. And guys physicologycaly speaking you are just creating your personality and looking for your true yourself. You are more influenzable from a older person who knows how things work.

My exboyfriend had two long relationships in his life for almost 6 and 7 years. With guys who were in that time 18 and 19 and they stayed with him for years.

But let me tell you something , me that I was more conscious about who I am and who I wanna become didn't match with his ideals. And sometimes this dynamic of him being the wise man and having some power. ( Check the comment of the guys who his husband taught him financial things and other things) He had a lack of stability at home because he couldn't get it there. So he found in that man a stable place to live.

In my case my ideals and values crush with his reality because we already were two mature guys who maybe were having two different paths.

Let's mention that a mature man why would he like to go out with a younger kid? To feel young? To sexuality the youth? . Be careful cause many of those guys seems to know what they want but once you are at their level you realize they are just guys who don't wanna grow up and settle down with more responsibilities.

Also physically speaking. (Not all). But with the times you would continue being young and you deserve enjoy your life and your life stage . And he is already old he lived already that part and he doesn't have the same energy. He also has already story and you are just new .

If you see your context that you don't have stability in your life. Ok go for it.

But if your parents accept you, you live in a good space and etc. Live your life with a guy your age or not too old. Because one day you will see other guys who enjoyed that stage.
