#MyStory: My Partner Is Two Decades Older Than Me & Here’s Why It’s The Best Relationship Of My Life

“Are you dating him for real, like for real?” people often ask me when I introduce my 45-year-old boyfriend to them. “Is he rich?” “Are you his sugar baby?” “Do you have some daddy issues?”—These are some of the other questions I get. I am 25 and dating a 44-year-old isn’t something I had planned to do. But the truth is I am in the best relationship of my life and that’s all that matters. 

Just like most modern-day love stories, we started with the right swipe! After getting out of a long and emotionally draining relationship, I had just started dating and it was love at first sight for me. The fact that we were generations apart had almost put us off at the start, but then we just thought let’s take it one day at a time instead of rushing into anything.

It has been tough for us, not because we have any compatibility issues but because the world isn’t comfortable with our relationship. TBH, I have often been called an ‘old soul’ by friends and former partners. Instead of going out for drinks on Friday nights, I enjoy cooking for myself and putting on some old Bollywood tracks. I never felt the urge to constantly go out and dance the night away and that’s the reason why I feel so happy in my current relationship. We spend our days reading in bed together, making plans to visit the art museums around us, and most of all, just talking to each other. 

While I understand dating an older man can be hard at times, one can’t argue with the rewards of it. In your mid-20s, dating people your age can be harrowing—you’re drowning in a sea of cheap vodka shots, messy apartments, and random “you up” text. So when you meet someone who has a career, goals and wisdom, it’s intoxicating. Right now though, all I can say is that I’m willing to take a chance on this relationship and even if things fail to work out, I know we’ll remain friends.

ATM, I don’t know where this relationship is heading or if we will eventually part ways. While he is open to the idea of marriage, things might turn upside down if we plan to have a child together. It is too early for us to have all the answers ready? Well, I think so. But I know we will get there some day.

All I know is RN I am so incredibly happy in love and that’s all that matters to me. So, to all those questioning my relationship, maybe try to find peace in yours!
