Hi,
My name is Dawn and I am so happy to be among people who can relate to what I am going through. This is my first time EVER dating a younger man, and wow what an experience it has been. I don't know how it happened or what happened all I know is it happened, and now almost a year later we are still together. This relationship is nothing like I have experienced with men my own age or with my ex husband who was ten years older than me. I feel alive again I am 34 and he is 23. At first it really bothered me because I worried so much about what my friends would think and my family but I guess the saying is true you cannot help who you love. I never intended to fall in love with John I merely thought it would be just a sexual relationship. I think for me it was more curiosity because I had never been with a younger man, but it turned out to be so much more. It is funny how we are so different I am a professional with a degree and he on the other hand is not. We are from two totally different backgrounds.
I am so happy to be able to post my feelings to people who can understand exactly how I feel. I guess my biggest issue is how do we really make it last? Are there any women out there who have with with their ym for over a year? and if so how is your relationship now compared to when you first met? How do you deal with what other people think? Please share your stories with me, even though it has been a year for us I feel there is so much I need to learn about younger men and how to maintain a good relationship.
