ORIGINAL: labrat18610 People age. What you thought was cool at 21, sucks when your 42. When there's a big age difference, the relationship is a temporary one. Yeah, I know somebody is going to post that even with a huge age difference, "we've been together for eons". That only means one of you hasn't grown up, yet. Rick For many many personality types, I believe that is very true. I believe it can depend a lot on what you (the older) can just accept rather than try to teach/fix/mother/whatever. Master has a dominant personality and certainly doesn't want a mother figure or someone to tell him what to do or how to do it. We both realize that I have more life experience than he does, and he does listen to me. However, I have to (and do) accept that he will make his own decisions for the both of us. I may think he's about to learn something I learned years ago, and that may be true, but it's never been a horrid experience. At 25, he's got things to learn. At 39, I've got things to learn. At 50, we will both have things to learn still. Frankly, I've learned so much more from him than I think he has learned from me. If you have the personality that can accept your Dom/Master will make mistakes, some of which may be directly related to his age, then you should be fine. Many people cannot live this kind of acceptance, especially with a Dom/Master, and I understand that. It hasn't been a problem for us, though, for which I am thrilled. We also have the support of all of his family and mine, which is a tremendous asset. I would be much more concerned over family disapproval and interference than over age, as I have found that to be much more destructive to a relationship from my own experience. Respectfully, Amy
