Is it normal to date a guy 8 years younger?

4 Comments

We have been secretly together for 4 months now. I did not allow anything physically to take place between us until he turned 18.

He made all the moves and eventually I caved in.

He has a girlfriend which I feel very ashamed about. I never wanted to be the other girl.

In the past when he broke up with her she wanted to commit suicide. So he says she has to leave him, he can't break up with he again.

When we are alone, it is wonderful.
I forget about all the sad things in my life. We are just...
I know it won't last long and I will get hurt but for some reason I just can't break away from him.

I've tried to break away but I just can't seem to.
His support during my grieving process has been wonderful.

I see him everyday at work. And honestly I don't want to lose his friendship.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore!! :-/

    Not normal and pretty fucked up to be cheating with him.

    If you never wanted to be 'the other girl' then you wouldn't continue to be the other girl. I could care less about the age difference.

    I don't think it's especially abnormal to date a guy who's eight years younger, but I do think it's not normal to be okay with being his side piece. I personally think he's pulling your leg with this suicidal, psycho girlfriend crap. Honestly, if she is indeed a suicidally depressed person she needs psychiatric help, she doesn't need to be enabled by his allowing her to manipulate him. The logical and charitably intolerant thing to do when someone is in this guy's position would be to still go through with the breakup, then simply call 911 and tell the operator that she's threatening to commit suicide. She could very well be involuntarily hospitalized and actually get the help she so desperately needs if she in fact mentally ill as he claims. I wouldn't much trust this guy, because he's a cheater and a coward. Regardless of whether what he tells you about his girlfriend he's a liar, because he's already lying to her by cheating, and if he's willing to lie to her he'll probably lie to you too. Liars don't discriminate, they lie to everyone as that is their nature.

    Don't break them up. A friend wouldn't voluntarily ruin a friend's relationship. You're his friend. Be happy with that.
