Normal my parents won't let me date a man i'm 25?

I'm freaking 26. The man I like is 47. They're going out of their way to make me leave him but I refuse. Honestly the age is nothing. What should I do? I live upstairs it's a shared place. I can't afford to move anywhere else..

    Date someone closer to ur age. He will probably have erectile dysfunction soon.

    Wait another 10 years til you're 35 then have a kid. He will be near 60 when your kid is 1. Then when your kid is 15 he will be 75. Jimmy: Dad come hiking with us. Daddy: can't do that jimmy I'm 75

      I agree with you. There is too big a spread in ages. Think down the road 20 years.

  • If you would be mature enough to afford making a living, you wouldn't have so many restrictions as well. You are restricted because you are unable to live alone, which shows you probably can't make strong decisions yourself, so the restrictions are there to help you avoid turning your life into shit. I'd listen to your parents if I were you.

    • I live in NYC I rent the upstairs for 1300$ a month I have 2 bedrooms a bathroom a small kitchen. Anywhere else is easily 3000$+ for the same size. I make 25000$ a year not enough to move out. I am responsible. I met him at a volunteer event for the homeless. You don't know me.

      • I never said you're not responsible. I said you aren't able to live alone, which you confirmed. And this probably means you can't make strong decisioms yet. A strong decision is getting engaged/married with someone. Even rich people were sometimes unable to make strong decisions and they ruined their lives. A sign that you'll be able to make such a decision would be being able to move out. This doesn't mean you're not responsible, it means you need more money, more power and acquire it steadily in your hands in order to gain the experience of it. This will probably empower you enough to protect the wealth you manage to acquire.

    Too much of an age gap. Your parents are trying to help you. Listen to them.
    How would you start a family with this guy. By the time you have a kid and your kid is in school, your man will be 60 and over...

    Please get out of that situation. That’s toxic. You can date whoever you want to. I understand their concern with the age difference, but they can’t tell you who to date. Please save up some money or go stay with someone else if you can. It’s very controlling on their part.

    you are fucked no 47 year old is dumb enough to marry anyone much less a 25 year old . all you are going to rob him of is some dinner movies vacations and lots and lots of sex . by 47 he has seen it all. tell your parents fuck off.

    When I saw the title I legit thought you meant your parents weren't allowing you to date ANY men whatsoever and I was going to advise you to try dating women... lol

    Is that the only reason your parents won't let you date him is cause of the age gap ?? If he was younger would they let you ?? If either of those is yes then thats normal because they are thinking of the future and about your kids and you. If they let you date anyone then yeah thats not normal. You are old enough to make your own decisions, If you have really thought about the future with this guy and you still really want him then go for it, you are a women and they can't tell you what to do even tho you still live at home

    I wouldn't go and make discussions your going to regret in the future. If he is a good person and you guys fit and you think your life will be how you want in 10 years go for it. If you choose to make a decision just think of all the factors first.

    Is it just because of the age or maybe they can tell that he's not a good man.. What's he's history? did it end bad with a lot of his exes? many men never change.. he might seem so loving and caring at first then treat you for granted in the future..

    Move in with the 47 year old.
    You are 25 years old , your parents cant tell you who to date.
    Tell them to fuck off.
    Let the 47 year old knock you up , that will shut your parents up.
    Have you had sex with him yet ?
    The title you say you are 25 , and the first sentence you say that you are 26 years old.
    Which is it ?
    Do you know how old you are ?
    Age is only a number.
    It is mind over matter.
    If you don't mind , it doesn't matter.

      You aren't thinking down the road. In 20 years he will be 67 and she will be only 46. Wake up and think ahead!
