My partner is 12 years younger than me, and we’ve been together for 2 years. I was very hesitant to form a relationship with him at first due to the age gap, but we had great chemistry and he really wanted to pursue a relationship.
Eventually I guess I got over the gap for a while, but sometimes I can’t help but feel guilty, or like I’m doing something wrong. I feel as though I’m stealing his 20s, even though he insists he’s happy.
A lot of people judge our relationship as a ‘sugar daddy’ type deal and I worry that even though we’re now engaged, people don’t take our relationship seriously.
Recently we’ve been arguing a lot about finances, and it makes me doubt whether he’s mature enough for a serious relationship. I love him to pieces, but he can be selfish and immature when it comes to disagreements. We also have very different social lives- it’s not easy having someone come home at 3am drunk or high when you have work at 7.
It’s all making me question and second guess the relationship and I suppose the morality and practicality of it. I know I love him, and we do have a good connection, it just seems like we’re on different planets at times
TL:DR: I’m feeling guilty and torn about the age/maturity gap between me and my 23 year old fiancé
