After a year of seeing each other, I'd certainly want to know where we stood as a couple, if only to know if I was wasting my time or not.

If you're only interested in something casual, then it really doesn't matter.

Yes, it's definitely time for another conversation about it.

The bond between you two should be stronger than the criticism against it. Both of you should have confidence in yourselves as a couple... otherwise, why bother being together at all?

My BFF from childhood got married at 39 to a 20-year old dude. They're now 42 and 23 with an almost year-old baby. I was dubious, and didn't meet him till I was in their wedding, but once I met him, I was less skeptical. It can happen.

BUT...he was always all-in on the relationship, from the start. It wasn't hidden, wasn't a secret, it was always official and exclusive, he didn't have a bunch of female peers he didn't want to know he was dating somebody, etc.

For me, being a woman pushing 40 and in a "secret" relationship would get really old, really fast.

The age may be an eyebrow-raising factor to some/most...but really, the biggest red flag here is the fact that he wants to keep the "relationship," such as it is, on the downlow.

You are old enough to be his mom. It's going to be a tough road to take this on. People will judge you. To each their own but I would not want to deal with someone at that age. Is he still living at home???? Personally I think he is just experimenting, and enjoys attention from others so he's not committed to you.

If you don't want your situation judged, then yes, you are in the wrong forum. I don't know of any judgment-free zones on the internet.
