    Having an age gap is normal. My aunt is 8 years older than my uncle.

    However, I don't think the issue here is because of the age difference. He doesn't seem to be interested in you the way you are in him. Talk to him. If he doesn't want to be close to you like you want him to, you may have to let him go. A relationship is a two-way street. He can't put no effort in and expect to keep you.

    What's happening between you has nothing to do with the age gap, but because apparently you're far more interested in him than he is in you. What do you mean by "with" him? If you mean sexually when you were in high school then he's broken the law.

    It's not because he's "an older", it's because he doesn't want as much contact as you do.

    Age gaps are totally normal, as long as you're both adults. The other part, about him not wanting to talk to you, definitely not normal. If things don't change, I would let him go.

    He's probably losing interest for whatever reason, you should talk to him.

    My guess (I could be completely wrong on this), since it wasn't a sexual relationship, then he may have been attracted to how naive and childlike you were at 16; you probably listened to all his stories, followed everything he said, and so on (Like how an impressionable teen would). However, you've grown and becoming a woman, you're no longer that gullible 16 year old.

    I'm sorry to say, but he's 26, and there's nothing wrong with an age gap relationship between consenting adults, but he sounds married to me. You can't call him at home and he doesn't text? Please look into that possibility and don't get hurt

    If you got with him at 16 and he is ignoring you now, he probly dumped you for not sleeping with him. Forget him, you deserve better than that pervert.

    The age gap is normal. Him being so ignorant to his girlfriend isn't.

    he seems to have moved on with his life if he doesn't text you or anything and the right thing to do would be to stop chasing him because that is desperate.

    He just basically told you indirectly that he wants to be ok with you but just not fucking with you the same way, aka that relationship is over.

    Let him go and move on. You'll get over it.
