I met my ex boyfriend in 2010, we started living together in 2011 and he moved out of our apartment May 1st. He is 18 years younger than I am. He will be 35 this year. Over the course of our relationship, with my encouragement, he made many changes -- got sober, enrolled in college (late bloomer?) and graduates next year with a 4.0 average. He started to distance himself from me a year ago. I lied to myself, telling myself that he was just really busy with school, which he was, but in retrospect, he was truly ignoring me. I know he loved me, but I felt a shift. Well, the break up occurred right after I got back from a 2 week vacation. I went without him because he was in school and I really needed a vacation!! I work hard. He now says he "thinks" he "might" want children someday. He honestly isn't sure, but he let me go anyway. I have tried not to talk to him. He has reached out to me telling me how miserable he is and that this was his longest relationship, but he also told me not to wait for him. I have been crying every morning and every night. We did so much together every summer, and now summer is coming and I have no plans and feel empty and lost. I am 53 now. I never expected to fall in love with someone so much younger or even with him, but it happened and I wish it never did. At this point in my life, after having had a 10 year marriage and 5 other long terms, including him (he was my second longest), I am done. Single from now on. I am a relationship person... a giver... I am fine alone but don't want to be. But I can never go through this heartache again. He even said to me, "Did you really think it would last considering our age difference?" Yes, I did. He was the one who was more into me and then we both fell in love and now it's over and I'm so sad. I used to think age was just a number and made no difference, but men in their 30's inevitably want children. I don't recommend falling in love with someone younger! Especially 18 years.

Hi, I am 28 and I fell inlove with a 19 year old guy. I tried to kept my distance but still he wants to be a part of my life. I am a single mother and he knows that. He accepted my daughter, our age gap and even our differences. People used to say I look like I am 22. I know the guy has so much to learn and experience but he talks like he wanted a future with me. I dont know what to do.

I am married for over 20 years. We have not been intimate for over 10 years. Few months ago i met Dave, 20 something guy. I am in such a pain and turmoil for falling for such a young man. I can not bear to see him. I had to leave my job, to avoid facing him. I love him so much. He is very nice to me, but he does not reciprocate my feelings. I am devastated. Pain is not less or more because he is younger. Pain is a pain, love is a love. Maybe I should not have left my job? I thought he was a painful, pointless distraction. If only he felt same way about me.

It's refreshing to see that I am not alone and crazy for allowing myself at 42 to fall for a 23 year old man. I too am married and not happy with my spouse. This is the first time I have ever been with a much younger guy. I am scared because he has his whole life ahead of him and I already have lived much of mine. I love him, the way he makes me feel, the conversations, the quality time, and the sex. He makes me feel like a teenager again!!! I don't know what the future holds for us, I just think that at this point, I don't really want to imagine my future without him in it.

To the. 60 yr. old beautiful lady in the relationship with the younger male.
I too, have found myself married with a lover but I'm only in my mid-forties. I feel your pain becuz I'm with a man that has never in the 25 yrs of marriage ever said I was beautiful Or said a nice word land the only reason I stay becuz I know without a doubt he would turn my children away from me, if I leave.
With that, I found a maturity in a much younger guy half my age that makes me whole.
My question to you, if you were in your 40's and you met some one you connected with on every level; would you risk the sacrifice@?
Thank you for sharing.
