Younger guy

[Daydreamer19]

What’s people experiences/opinions on relationships with a younger guy? I’m 30 and he’s 18, and I have 3 children. He seems very mature and we get on really well with lots of things in common but his age is holding me back from letting things progress. Thanks

Not when hes only 18.

Sorry to be blunt but I don't even get how people look at teenagers and find them attractive, they're still just kids really to me.

The age itself is not the issue. I'm 34 and my bf is 20. We just clicked and dived in headfirst and never looked back. It is by far the most comfortable, healthy, respectful relationship I've ever been in. It helps that neither of us have or want kids, we have plenty of common interests, enjoy our own space, have disposable income to have fun with, and have the sense to know that our feelings may change one day. So quite frankly, the people expressing their disgust should focus more on what they're doing with their own genitals than worry about what other consenting adults are doing.

If I was in your position though and had 3 kids to his none...I must admit, I would be having second thoughts. Does he want kids of his own? Have you discussed where you see yourselves going with this? Would he be a positive influence on your kids if he were to meet them one day? That's the part that feels slightly odd to me. But hey, it is entirely down to you as individuals.

On a positive note - I started going out with a 18 year old guy when I was 28 with two children, we have been together 29 years this year?

It depends whether you are looking for a fun date or a long term relationship.

Do you know what, you are right.

It's not like op came here and asked opinions......oh wait

I actually think it’s less of a problem when you’re younger. A couple we used to know, 10 year age gap, seemed solid for many years until she hit menopause. The lack of sex killed the relationship and he fucked off with someone 15 years younger than him.
Good luck but, the chances of this working long term are minimal in my opinion.

One of my closest friends met her partner when she was 29 and he was 18! She had 2 kids already. They have now been together for nearly 8 years and have a child together! They are one of the most stable and happy couples I know!
