Age Gap Love Story And Conflict: Love has no age, but many compromises have to be made in it. Many times this compromise becomes a question between partners as to whose sacrifice is the greatest.
Often we fall in love with a person who is much older than us. At that time, we become so helpless in front of our hearts that we do not even pay attention to the challenges that come in this relationship. But when we start living together, we realize that we have to compromise on many things. On Reddit, a person has shared the story of his relationship without revealing gender and name and has asked whose sacrifice is bigger in this relationship.
The story in the Reddit post goes like this, ‘I have been in a relationship for 4.5 years. There is a big age difference between us. There is an age difference of 20 years i.e. ‘May–December’ relationship. Surprisingly, we have always liked this difference. The younger partner is more mature than his age and has always been attracted towards older people, whereas the elder partner is a bit immature by nature. That’s why our chemistry is very good. She further wrote that recently an old issue came up again between us – the compromises made in the relationship.
small partner agreement
This is the first and only relationship of the younger partner. Sometimes she gets frustrated that she decided to settle down too soon. She didn’t get a chance to explore relationships with other people.
big partner agreement
At the same time, the elder partner has had many serious relationships in the past. She also has a child from a previous relationship, but she always wanted to have more children in the future. The younger partner has clearly said that he never wants children. The elder partner has accepted this, but deep inside he is sad that he will never be able to have more children in the future and he has given up this dream for this relationship.
It was further written in the post that we both believe that there is compromise in every relationship. We both care about each other. We spend healthy time together, we like to spend time together. Our sex life is good. We are also happy with each other.
But what we cannot agree on is whose agreement is bigger? Is it a big sacrifice to give up your independence and other relationship experiences at a young age? Or is giving up the dream of never having more children in life a bigger compromise?
people’s opinion
Reddit users gave very strong and honest reactions to this post. Most people believe that the biggest mistake is to compare who has sacrificed more in a relationship. One user clearly said that both the partners seem immature, because it is impossible to measure sacrifice in a relationship. No one can decide how deep was the desire of someone who left something. On top of that, thinking like “I gave up so much for you” becomes poison for the relationship. If the relationship is to work, it is important to be satisfied with your own decisions, not thinking that everything was done for the other person.
