Crabs, will you change your opinion on a situation or are you dead set in your ways?

If you were uncomfortable with an age difference, would you eventually get over it? Or would situations like this be a deal breaker for you when considering a new relationship? considering this is a part of your family values etc. Some insights on this would really help me out! Thank you! 🙂

Haha. Sorry I keep posting. I'm awfully glad you are so attentive, though. Thank you! 🙂 eh, I just know it's the age thing. I'm 27, he is 42. I just always have liked older men. It's just my thing. But he is such the family man, I can't imagine he would get over this with having teenage children. But he's slowly letting me into their lives.

Crabs never know what they are doing definitively, even when they make a "final decision."

They will never tell you, but deep down inside they are internalizing a "back and forth" on whether or not their "final decision" was the correct one.

Not true. Once we made up our minds, we don't turn back because the emotions dead inside.

Yep, this. I might ride the fence for ages deciding if this or that is the right choice, but once the choice is made I won't go back on it.

If it truly an issue with age difference then yes, absolutely; however, please be advised that this is only based on the age difference alone and not to include any other factors. If you're adjusted to his needs and vice versa, nothing else matters. If he's comfortable, then you're good. If he feels awkward from time to time during conversations or random interactions, you may have an issue on your hands.

Have a tea after "losing your shit reading this drama", lioness. We knew you'd be back for more!

I laughed at this. Crabs are like drugs I swear. I have never felt so messed up in my entire life! Lol. But that mannequin still is an option, no doubt. †

Thank you. There doesn't seem to be any kind of awkwardness. We are comfortable with each other all the time, but he will throw the age thing out there on occasion. We both have that 'childish' personality (in a fun way) so age doesn't bother me because I sometimes forget he's an old grandpa lol jk
