Age Gap Relationship

Agility.......would you tell us how you two met, how/when you became more than just friends, and what your guy does for a living?

I was wondering too what happened to Agility. Seems to have flown the coop. Well here in Colombia the culture is a little different and it's not unusual to see much bigger age differences than North Americans are accustomed too. The further out in the country you go the more likely you are to see a fifteen year old girl with a twenty five to thirty year old guy. That's village life. My best friend who is European is fifty one and the girl living with him is twenty with a three month old baby (not his). All her Colombian friends and family think it's the best thing that's happened to her.

My married lover is 30 years older than me. We are 6 months into the relationship but have been friends for 8 years. We know it isn't long term, but we're having fun and we're not hurting anyone sincer they can't grieve over something they don't know about. I say live for today - you're a long time dead!

morals?

Where do "morels" come in to play here? It seems to me this issue is about "conventions" not morals. I agree with Godiva. If Agility is enjoying her relationship there is certainly no reason she shouldn't continue with it. The idea that because of the age gap the two can't enjoy each others companionship is silly. Relationships like Agilities' happen all the time down here. Different "conventions".

Oops I see I wrote morels and this has nothing to do with mushrooms unless they're growing in a bucket of worms. Anyway as Godiva said this string is about age gaps. Large age gaps in US culture seem to be nearly as taboo as incest. I'm about to visit the states for month with a wife half my age. Will the middle aged waitress at Denny's in Somewhere, Kansas say "and what will your daughter have?"?

I don't think large age gaps in the US are such a big deal as they used to be, except maybe in the more religious states. Broadly speaking I think the further south you go the worse it is! Anyway Pitter you have a really great time in the States,

Ok Godiva thanks. We won't cross the Mason-Dixon.

Godiva, I suppose it was was rude to ask Smile

but you said your lover was 30 years older than you, so I was just curious where to start doing the math.

We met through his dog. He is my neighbor and I offered to walk his dog for him because I walk mine by his house every day and his pup needed exercise. Gradually we became friends, after a few months of just talking and getting to know eachother and it progressed from there.

I work at a coffee shop/roastery and he works on highway patrol.

Does that help at all?

Sorry I have been rather absent on this post, my computer has been acting up Mad

Go For It
agility_girl.....I say go for it!
Of course you should be careful, but don't miss out on an opportunity for happiness just because of an age gap.
When it comes down to it, its just a number.
I'm 18 and in a relationship with a 29 year old guy. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Had I listened to the opinions of my family and friends when i first told them, I wouldnt be with my soulmate right now.
As long as you're happy, then that's all that matters.
