Oh, you live at home? And you contemplate weather or not to close to the distance in 7 years, and then wait some more years before getting married and all this time you will be celibate? That is probably very good for your career. And after that you can find a guy you are actually into.

I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain

I think the age gap is definitely a large part like mentioned. He's at or around the age where he's ready to settle down and you are just starting to experience life. I'm about to turn 18 in two days and my boyfriend is 22 and even an age gap with only a few years shows major differences. I'm still in high school and he is working. He can do things that I can't yet do. We've talked about marriage and I personally can't wait to be married and have a family, but that's just me and I understand you're different. But as much as age gaps don't matter, they can be difficult when two people are at different stages in their lives. However, there's nothing wrong with talking about marriage and fantasizing about a life together. If it makes you uncomfortable though, you have to tell him that. Let him know you're too young and it's too soon to be worried about marriage. I sometimes have to say I'm too young to worry about something yet when I'm talking to my BF. Good luck!

Originally posted by differentcountries View PostI have nothing against waiting until marriage in general, just her version of it. Nobody lives long term together and don't have sex. They may live together for a short while to prepare marriage, but not for long and not without a date for marriage. You are not living with your so, as she plans to do. She indicated they would live like that for years. That is my concern. Your story hardly relates to what I said in the other posts. Please read before you post.

What worries me the most is this whole closing the distance thing without first meeting. I've done it and it was a terrible idea, even though it turned out for the best for me.So, here you are
too foreign for home
too foreign for here.
Never enough for both.
