Younger dating older man

You know those days when you're cranky and wanting to pick a fight?

(For me, that was my entire eighth month of pregnancy.) Alex never takes the bait.

My stomach churned and my body was weak, but I felt so cared for, so loved, that I resisted drifting off into a feverish sleep. Throughout my twenties and early thirties, I had relationships with men who were 15 to 30 years my senior.

He kissed my forehead and, for a moment, I felt a fatherly presence. Most of them were flings and short-lived romances, sparked through spontaneous meetings at social gatherings or, like Sam, through work.

But Alex always has anecdotes (and bedtime tales) I haven't heard; plus, he has answers to all my questions, from job advice to how to cook an egg.

Now he's mature enough to sit back, keep mum and ride it out.I had to open the door and vomit out the side of the car every few minutes on our way back to the home of the Indian family I stayed with.Sam carried me to my room, gently took off my shoes and socks, and tucked me into bed.My eyes popped that night, but four years later, I've realized that this potential deal breaker is actually the biggest blessing of our relationship. After four decades of life, Alex is a walking encyclopedia.With past boyfriends my age, I knew all of their stories by month three.
