Hi,

I broke up a month ago with a guy 12 years younger.

I was his first long term relationship. It lasted a year and nine months. He left me suddenly. I'm 37 he's 25 but we look the same age. We still love each other like crazy, we're each other's best friend and keep in contact almost daily. It was hard but we decided to grow separately for now but to keep the door open to getting back together in the future. I think he's conflicted because he needs some more experience with other guys so he can know what he wants, I agree so I let him go. So we'll see, I'm open. On top of the age thing is the fact that I was his first too much or can it still work?

Toria agony auntSounds like he just needs some time to do everything he has missed out on while being with you, as you say you was his first and first relationship so he has no other experiance at all and for you both to grow together he needs to grow on his own and it is better he goes through this stage now and gets it over with and hopefully comes back wanting you back than to get another few year down the line and him feel the need to do it then.

Let him get it out of his system and he will come running back.

It sounds like there is definitely the chance that it will work. There is a larger age gap than that between myslelf and my long term boyfriend.
