How I told my family about my mature
lover?
They will accept if you are proud of your choice
|
Summary: Below is the story
of a man who gathered the courage to confront his family
and the society at large by admitting with pride his
feelings for a woman twice his age, a woman that may
never be able to give him a child, but will give him all
the love that he can imagine. |

As a
22-year old, even I could not believe that I would
fall in love with a 44-year old woman, who was in a
relationship and was about to
get
married to her boyfriend. However, when I told her
how I felt about her, she confessed that she too felt
the same way. I just recently told my parents everything
concerning her and her situation. Needless to say they
weren't to happy, especially my mother. They think I
should be
dating a girl more closer to my age and build up a
future,
have kids, the whole nine yards. After a long talk
they finally told me it was up to me who I choose to be
my significant other. I immediately told them I wanted
her. I made my decision, and although they
are not happy, they are going to let her stay with us
mainly because they know her and know she's a good
person.
She and I have decided to tell her daughter this weekend
and hopefully things will go a lot smoother telling her
than my parents. She is much closer to me in age, and
therefore, more appreciative of
relationships with big age gaps.
In a way my mother is concerned about our
age difference and how it will affect my life. She
tells me that she doesn't care about our
age gap, that she loves me unconditionally but is
worried about
how it will
affect my friends and family.

They are not doubts about us,
but concerns, ones that she's willing to face
with me. I wish I can put her
fears to rest. I told her that I love her
very much and am willing to do anything to keep
us together; hopefully that can calm her down
somewhat but nonetheless she's still worried
about my well being. |
As you know it is very unusual for
relationships like this but people are starting to
understand that things are changing. I hope that my new
girlfriend will win over my parents by showing them she
is at least as good if not
better than a
girl my age. And she will become a good
member of
the family.
