Can we discuss age differences between man and woman in a relationship?
You sound like you are very happy with him and the way he treats you. If you have ever been in a bad relationship these things will matter so much more. The age difference is not that much considering your age compared to his. What I mean is when you are 14 and date someone 27 it is a big deal, but if you are 30 and date someone 43 its not looked upon the same way. The same goes for your age difference. That is just how I see it someone else may have a completely different view. I think you should stop worrying so much about the materialistic things and focus on the relationship. You don’t have to jump into marriage or sex. Take your time and see if what he has to offer you besides money etc is more important. Although if you can never get passed the money and age issue it will probably be a major problem in the future, and you should call it quits.
Part of that is probably just biological. Many women lose interest in sex as they age, but most men would prefer to remain active. Personally, I don’t think 13 years is such a big age difference, at least in this stage of your lives. You seem to really care for him, and point out all his positive features. The only negative for you is that he has chosen to date younger women. I really don’t think he is looking for someone to take care of him in his old age–if that were true he would looking for someone even younger than you. And just because he retires doesn’t mean he won’t still have an active, busy life. It might even make for a great life for you if he is the type to take care of things at home, so that when you come home from work, you are both free to just be together and do what you enjoy. I guess what surprises me most is that the two of you have not have sex after four months. Maybe you should. Maybe that would answer some things for you. I hope this isn’t too personal. I wish
