My question goes out to the other older people in age gap relationship: How do you cope/deal/handle the fact that you love someone so young and that they could very well leave anytime. Not because they cared any less, just that they are still young and learning/exploring the things we already have? Does anyone else have this neurosis? I love her very much, and I am looking forward to moving up near her soon, as she is going to be "of age" soon. I don't like feeling these worries, and I don't know how normal they areplease help! lol

 Well. She will grow, and she will change, and her life will go where her life will go. But she loves you, she'll want you there to grow and change with her. Yes, she'll have lots of things to experience, but she'll want to share them with you.post script, I love you.

Wolfcry is verified as being by the original poster of the question well i dont know if i agree with that part of it, but it's complicated to explain/ She is far more grown up than most her age, and it's not a relationship thats fragile in that sense. I'm very neurotic by nature, sometimes unfairly

reader, anonymous, writes (13 August 2007): you're right to be worried. she is still experiencing things and is soon going to want to add people to that. she's 17. you're 26-29. i believe this relationship is not going to work in the long term because she will change..do you not feel a bit odd dating a 17 year old in the 1st place? how would people in your family feel about that? my brother is 27 and if he were dating a 17 y/o i would be very skeptical. maybe it's not my place to judge, but i can't help it. i'm 26 and couldn't imagine dating a teenage boy..
