If dude really has no kids, doesn’t want any and decent career then he likely won’t be around for long. Her mentioning it constantly is going to backfire, just gotta let it ride.
Didn't read thread, just giving my opinion.I already explained my live-in situation a couple times on here. I'll give it a brief summary then fill in gaps where needed...
My childs' mom and I are living together until our lease ends in June, we've been separated since last July. Victims of circumstance is why we've still lived together...
She's 25 and recently began seeing this 41-year old guy, according to her. Over the last 2-3 weeks she's brought up dude multiple times; most recently last night she asked me when I would like to meet dude, etc etc...
I already have responded with feeling like she's talking dude up to annoy me and feel great about herself, my question isn't pertained to that. My question is, what would a man want with a woman 16 years younger than him, who still lives with her kids father? At 41, what does this tell you about who he is and his motives?
She specifically asked me last week what I think about some info she shared, then when I told her I'm not impressed, she went in about how she thinks he's a "unicorn"--->he's unlike any man she's ever met before and she doesn't think she'll meet anyone like him ever again. She repeatedly asks me questions, I give an answer, then she debates me about my answer to a question she asked me unprovoked...
Woman of The Coli feel free to jump in if you have an opinion as well. I told her to take care of herself, he doesn't sound as genuine to me as she thinks he is, and instead she thinks I'm hostile and hating because she sees this as a long term relationship moving forward...
You put too much stock in ageSo then lemme ask, because I'm looking at it this way...
I get this post. But if I'm 41, do you have a general idea on who she's gonna be when she moves into her own place? I'd assume she's gonna be a 25-year old, which would lessen the attraction for me. She's pretty high maintenance, I do believe that isn't able to be seen from his perspective right now, but at his age I gotta think he assumes there's more than what she let's on. Otherwise what's the point of having the "wisdom" at 40 that you don't have at 30, if you're gonna make the same mistakes and have the same depth of thought you had 10-15 years ago?
yes- she sees the end coming.
- she's realized you've mentally and emotionally checked out.
- she hasn't...even though she may in fact actually have from a relationship standpoint, from an emotional stability one she really hasn't, in the sense that for her to progress she needs to feel like she's in a better starting space than you. Yes, immaturity.
- she wants you, therefore, to care.
- you shouldn't.
- you probably do, since you're actually entertaining these conversations.
- undeserved cynicism? Maybe. The determining factor that stands out? Her constantly waving dude under your nose. "He's not a liar like you..." etc etc. She has to belittle you to achieve her head start.
- she knows she has hooks in your gills with those two children and she's determined to set them deeper.
- brace yourself for incoming.
You're a sharp dude so I know you have an idea of what you're potentially in for here. Hopefully it doesn't go in that direction, but it's better to be prepared than not. Move smarter and document everything. All convo to nil unless it's about the children, until she starts showing evidence of growing up. Love on your children harder. She'll either smarten up or she won't, but they shouldn't have to suffer more than necessary for whatever she has pinballing around in her head.
More than anything, you've got some growing to do yourself. Don't let any noise get in the way of that.
Breh 41, he dont have all that CONSTANT energy for a young woman.
it’s a load of horse shyt breh, plain and simple. I literally watched my mom cheat on my dad, divorce him, flexed on my pop every chance she got and let the nikka she was cheating on him with basically move into the fixer upper crib due to him being a contractor. Then when we needed to stay elsewhere because of lead in the paint, we couldn’t stay with him because he had a whole family already
You can’t let the bullshyt override your peace. Allow her world to fall apart on her own breh, it’s best for your mental health.
Speaking of mental health, id actually like to DM you about something and get your opinion if you don’t mind.
Idk about that man, she’s been running from karma for a long ass time nowSounds like karma eventually caught up with your moms breh![]()
