i was 19 in a situationship with a 25yo and he was by far the most manipulative person i have ever met. he guilt tripped me into feeling bad for him when he did things that hurt me and would make me stay on the phone with him all day but i wasn’t allowed to “distract him” so i would just sit there quietly not doing anything. i eventually unadded him on everything and he spammed requests for 3 days. just thinking about makes me feel sick
i’m 18 and know like nothing because my parents didn’t teach me anything. i had to call my boyfriend to ask if the water in my poi was boiling enough to put the pasta in. my parents dint even teach me how to cook. my boyfriend and i made a list of things to cook together over the summer so i can learn
As someone who was the 18 yo with a 22 yo I wouldn’t recommend it. Everyone is different and I am more mature and have had to be more mature to survive. What was so weird was how different our places in life were. He was graduating college and moving to another state for a job and i had just finished my first year. I loved him a lot and i never felt that he was going for me since i was younger but it did start to feel uncomfortable
I was 14 dating a 17 year old who was almost 18 (i turned 15 a few months after) but he didn’t even use shampoo. Like he used a bar of regular ass soap for EVERYTHING and he couldn’t make a box of mac and cheese for himself. He was in the grade above me and his brother was my age and told me they had shampoo. It was RIDICULOUS. Idek why i dated him atp
If you're in college there's no way you are that reliant on your parents where u can't even do basic adult tasks College doesn't have a specific age there's ranges of ages. You'd be surprised the amount of colleges students in their mid to late 20s who have the same attitude But as all things it's relative there are parents who baby their college kids even those one have a level of independence especially if they aren't commuting and I don’t mean financial independence
Me and my bf started dating when he was 21 and I was 18 and we’ve been okay! We struggle sometimes cause there is a little bit of a maturity and experience gap, but for the most part we are pretty connected and I’ve learned a lot abt life since we started dating (im 20 now) and that’s made it easier
i second this. i’m 21 and my bf is 22. when we started dating i was 19 and he was 21. i knew how to pay rent, pay utilities, get a money order, write a resume, and even knew a lot about financing/loans. he only kinda knew how loans/etc worked. i feel significantly older than him even though im 17-18 months younger.
I’d heavily advice you to focus on yourself because many men who go for women that are younger than them do not always have the best intentions in mind because there’s always gonna be some sort of maturity gap even if you think you’re a mature person for ur age and this is coming from a 19 yr old who’s dated older men before. It’s better to focus on urself bc ur still understanding who u are
