Trust fund?
You're how old?


Just thought it was funny how his user name contained part of your name and your stories were strikingly similar. Though he claims to be in love, so my fear for any much older man involved with a much younger woman is she is looking at it as a temporary fun times relationship while he is really invested emotionally no matter how much he tries to say he isn't.

It would also be helpful to keep in perspective that, per previous posts, that particular poster does, indeed, come from a background that includes abuse, mental health issues, and sexual dysfunction. Which doesn't really do much to refute the assertion that those who flock toward much older sexual partners DO often do so in response to various instabilities.

I am 26 and the "sugar baby" comment was a bit off putting. Nowhere in either his posts or mine were finances alluded to. That was just your passive aggressive way of taking a cheap shot.
As for getting emotionally invested... Sometimes the best laid plans...
You pay for your ticket and take your chances. No guarantees, and if it bites either one in the butt it's on us.
Younger and older relationships aren't much different than any other. Relationships are a crap shoot at best.
I only mentioned my trust fund to set the record straight so I am not sure what your question " trust fund? How old are you? Has to do with anything unless you have some kind of angst about people who have trust funds too.

I've always thought of trust funds as being for very young individuals.

And I'm not the only one who assumes much younger women go after much older men for their financial benefits. Since that is not your case, you don't see a future with this guy, what is the attraction/ppurpose of your relationship?

Is he super hot?

Isn't that a conflict of interest and breach of ethics?

I don't think the age difference is really a moral thing as much as it is a practical thing. A 19 year old and a late 30's year old are in very different places in life. It's not logical that that will work out long term.

I know of a couple that the guy is more than twice her age. He was 40 and she was 18 when they met (and he got her pregnant). It is extremely doubtful that will last, more than likely she will wake up and realize she is wasting her time with someone plenty old enough to be her father. (In her case, her real dad is dead so I suspect that is part of the attraction)

I also have a friend who is 43 and her husband is 62. They are getting a divorce, which they swore would never happen. 10 years ago when they met the age difference didn't matter, but now they are to the point where they just don't have anything in common anymore.

Yes, lawyers getting romantically involved with active clients is a big no no most places.
