My current boyfriend turns 51 next week. Weird. So getting to this point in my life has been a shitshow, and never in a million years did I think I'd be dating someone almost 30 years my senior. But here we are. I never had an old guy or daddy fetish, though he is fairly well off, I didn't approach this relationship as some kind of business proposition.
In all honest we met and got together during a really rough time in both of our lives. We were both dealing with loss and internal pain. We both wanted an escape, and as many of you know I struggle with drug and alcohol addiction. But instead of getting lost in drugs I chose to get lost in a lot of sex.
That evolved into a thing. A weird thing we didn't talk about. Things just happened....
I didn't really ask to move in, it just started.
I didn't ask for a car, but I needed one he had extras so I have a car now.
The connection felt natural despite the age.
When we go out, the stares we get are gross, mean and off-putting. But I honestly don't care because we are both happy. We can be our honest selves with each other.
All that said there are some weird things that happen when you date someone way older than you....
