Today, my boyfriend of 4 months broke up with me, saying things are moving "too fast". All I did was tell my 3 year-old that my boyfriend's parents are his new grandma and grandpa. FML

Mid-life crisis

By Glenn - 08/04/2023 18:00

Today, I had to break up with my boyfriend because we’re not on the same page. He doesn’t want to get married or have kids because he “wants to enjoy his youth” and “you’re only young once, don’t waste it!” He’s 38. FML

Sounds reasonable…

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 4 perfectly happy years together. The reason? He had a dream in which his dead former girlfriend from when he was 13 told him she still loved him. He now believes his dead childhood sweetheart is trying to contact him and I'm "in the way of their love." FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went to the local park for some romantic time together. By the time we left, I'd been called a pedo and a cradle robber, and been given several dirty looks. I'm 31. My boyfriend is 30 and just very baby-faced. FML

Is he a year old and you're eight months old? After that, the 4 month age difference should be acceptable.

Your comment : Sounds like he just wanted an excuse to leave OP. Dont worry about him. Find someone who appreciates you for - you.

I think he can be charged if you're 17 and he's 18 for instance. But even so... That excuse is so /b/.

I'm 24 years OLDER than the mother of my 17 month old son. She just turned 21 in July. That's an age gap! And to the peanut gallery... No, I don't troll for younger women. I wasn't looking for a younger woman it just happened, so keep the pedo remarks to yourself.

Is he taking actual age or is he saying u act so young (and immature) that it is like dating a very young child?

My husband and I are 6 years apart, I was 17 when we started seeing each other, and have been together ever since, now with 2 kiddos 7 & 4! He is just looking for a way out, age is only a number and 4 months isn't much of a difference.
