I met my first love at 18. He was 38. AMA

As it says. I pursued him. It lasted 3 months but we wanted different things. I'm 41 now but still love him.

I certainly wasn’t 18 but when I was 24 I fell in love with a man who was 37. We were together 11 years. Even though I am long married to a lovely man and we have 5 children together, that older man is the love of my life.

Well I’m wondering if he has a wrinkly old face now? I went out with an old guy and I really liked him. My ex pointed out he was one foot in the grave and that was a twenty year age gap. Ex had a point funnily enough.

Are you actually over him? I dated my first love for a lot longer than three months and I certainly don’t still love him!

Every relationship leaves a mark - it teaches us things we do and don’t want. How do you feel this relationship affected you?
