to wish people would stop saying I've been 'groomed'?

Okay, I'm young but I'm over the age of consent and I'm of very sound mind. I'm seeing a much older man, one reason being that I really like him and another reason being that he treats me a hell of a lot better than most guys around my own age have ever done.

The bad part is that some people who don't know him are moaning and saying he's 'groomed' me into his bed. Am I a little racehorse or something? I'm a human being and we're doing nothing illegal.

Why don't they just mind their own business and let two people get on with their lives?

No need to get so aggravated, someone who's in a similar situation might read this thread and find other people's experiences helpful.

AnyFucker · 03/02/2014 16:30

I am not aggravated, this is how I always speak Smile

ViviPru · 03/02/2014 16:40

The OP has just taken us all for a ride

squoosh · 03/02/2014 16:42

She certainly seemed to stirrup a lot of emotion.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 03/02/2014 16:43

Guess I'll have to rein in my enthusiasm for this thead.

ViviPru · 03/02/2014 16:44

I think MNHQ should mane and shame

Margene · 03/02/2014 16:46

Hay!

squoosh · 03/02/2014 16:46

She was only horsing around.

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 03/02/2014 16:47

Oh no, foaled again Grin

ISeeYouShiverWithAntici · 03/02/2014 16:47

You might have.

for me it's either this or ironing.

Threads like this can really stirrup the emotions, although I don't think this thread will remain here furlong.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 03/02/2014 16:47

At least we know she is in a stable relationship.

ISeeYouShiverWithAntici · 03/02/2014 16:49

damnit.

It took me so long to think of some that I am been beaten to it.

And I can't even say foaled again cos some bugger got that too.

WildThong · 03/02/2014 16:50

Haaahaaa Grin Man ure all good at this

WildThong · 03/02/2014 16:50

No need to bridle AF

AnyFucker · 03/02/2014 16:52

Grin @ the horsey references

it would have been a heap more sensible to start with them instead of sharing your age gap relationships with a hairy handed trucker, but hey-ho and all that

piratecat call it intuition Wink

BlueSkySunnyDay · 03/02/2014 16:53

For me "SnowyChloe" was a bit of a red flag, sounds like some porn kings idea of a 16 year old - but I didnt like to be rude....or was I? Hmm

ViviPru · 03/02/2014 16:53

Shame the OP is saddled with this situation though

IshouldhavemarriedEwanMcGregor · 03/02/2014 16:53

Mule all need to move off this thread now, it's a load of horse shit.

AnyFucker · 03/02/2014 16:54

Blue you are on the right (horse) track Smile

BlueSkySunnyDay · 03/02/2014 16:54

I did have a chuckle at "the love that dare not neigh its name"

ViviPru · 03/02/2014 16:57

"Man ure all good at this" = my personal high point
