My boyfriend of 8 months and I just broke up. Not because of anything bad, but I just happened to find out I’m almost 6 years older than him. The crazy part is that I’m not even angry, and I don’t hate him. I’m just hurt. I thought God had finally answered my prayers of giving me someone like him. I met him on this page, and he is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me in my years of dating. He is sweet, kind, loving, very smart, and, above all, very mature. I love him with all my heart. It’s going to be so hard to see someone who loves you for everything you are, allows you to express your baby side, doesn’t even judge you when you open up, plans dates, plays with me as if we are children, assists me in the kitchen, takes extremely good care of me when I’m sick, and I can very much say he has been loyal to me, same goes for me. Like everything is so perfect about him. We do almost everything together, go grocery shopping together, drop and pick me up from work almost every time, and share in my pain.
If I start listing how good my boyfriend is to me, I might not finish this rant. The reason I decided to bring this here is because anyone I talk to keeps saying, “Age is just a number.” I will be 27 by September. Some people will be like you should have known he was younger, but I didn’t know until a few days ago. The way he speaks and handles some situations, the kind of advice he gives, and the way he dresses scream maturity. When we started dating, we opened up to each other about some stuff. I told him I had a daughter in my previous relationship, which at first, I thought he was going to run away, but he was cool with it. He asked me my age, and I told him. According to him, he didn’t believe me because I looked way younger than my age, and the way I usually act like a baby, you can mistake me for a 22-23-year-old girl. So because he liked me, he lied about his age, and I thought we were age mates. We started dating, and everything was going fine except when we had issues, he dragged it like we were never going to settle it.
But now I come to find out that he kept doing that because he wanted me to get mad and leave because of the age differences, and maybe if I leave or break up with him, I won’t find out. And somehow we keep settling it, and the fact that he doesn’t want to lose me, and me too, I wasn’t ready to lose him either. So this revelation literally broke me. My boyfriend said he told me because he doesn’t want to waste my time and he doesn’t want to be selfish by keeping me to himself because he won’t be ready or thinking of marriage in the next 3 years. That I’m of marriageable age and that I should look for someone who will be ready to get married to me. I have cried so much. I can’t eat properly, I can’t sleep, I can’t think properly. I talked to a friend, and she said, “Age is just a number,” and I should talk to him about us getting back. I thought about it. I already have a daughter. After what I went through in my previous relationships, I’m not even thinking about marriage.
