[quote=Anonymous]I was 21, he was 32. He was a nice guy but also a guy who was never going to go anywhere. A pessimist who had no motivation and who kind of thought the world was out to get him and his friends. He was a bartender and therefore just in the night life scene in a way that he was never going to recover from, like Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting.

I loved him and honestly would have married him if he'd wanted to. He knew he shouldn't really be dating me but did anyway for like a year and a half. He finally broke up with me, and to this day I go between gratitude that he finally did (because I never would have!) and disgust that he took advantage of someone very inexperienced when he clearly knew very well it wasn't a great thing to be doing. He always kept me at arm's length so I never felt close or confident but never pushed me away firmly enough to keep me gone.

It was not a healthy relationship. It's 15 years later now and I am happily married with three kids and I think he is probably basically exactly what he was then. Which is why he was with me then in the first place, an older guy refusing to age past 21. When I got to his age I literally could not have imagined dating a guy that age. [/quote]
