You had a relationship with a male \ woman older than you by many years?

@Masterseekingone: if the person feels comfortable in a given situation...

@xal132: surely what's more important is their need for each other. If the feelings are real the only acceptance they should need is each others

Yes ...you are right
but many people are not so good
and public opinion can sometimes ruin a relationship...

@xal132: Only if you let it.
I have been at both ends of the spectrum, being the younger and being the older. You are right outside pressure and the stigmata attached to this form of relationship can be hard to take. But if the relationship is true and worth the effort, it is worth fighting for.

maybe...but the physiological aspects are important...
if you think about the future...

@xal132: Of course. However we have but one shot at life, do we deny ourselves the chance to find and live that one special life , because of stigma,and the opinions of others and then live the rest of our lives with the doubt in our minds that that may have been the one.

Yes ...you are right...we only live once
and I do not want to miss the main thing in life...
but not always we are confident ...most importantly..

@xal132: No that's true, and that is when you need each other the most.

thanks...I was pleased to speak with you...

@xal132: Your very welcome and likewise

☺hugs

@xal132: 🤗 always welcome
