Is it normal to date a guy 11 years older than me?
When I was 16 I was in a sexually abusive relationship with a guy 3 years older than me. We broke up a little after my 17th birthday. I found a guy online who was 11 years older than me n we hit it off. It was nothing at first but then we started talking everyday. We became a couple n helped eachother overcome personal problems (we both had trust issues, he smoked a lot n a previous serious girlfriend aborted 2 of his babies, n I used to cut myself n drink hard liquor). We had a wonderful amazing connection. Over the summer last year he came over to my house at midnight n we had sex. Short story, we got caught by my parents n he was arrested n sued for sleeping with a minor. Even though the court set a restraining order he still called me n we stayed together. I just want to know if this is normal? Do ppl who go through this still stay together??? Our relationship right now is real strong, we trust eachother completely n were real happy together, we even have plans to get married n start a family.
