I love my boyfriend
Category: Romance and Relationships

Now, this may not interest many of you, but it is a thought (or series of thoughts) that I've been wanting to get down for a little while.

I love my boyfriend.

What this means (at least to me) is that he makes me happy. He makes me smile. His happiness is my happiness. His sorrow is my sorrow. His fear and anger (when he opts to show the former) is mine as well. Frankly, I would have it no other way. This is the man who has had my heart for years now. I know he is (at the moment) twice my age, but really, what I feel for him is love, purely, truly, plain and simple (or complex; that depends on your views and thought on love).

Now. There seems to be some confusion in the minds of men when they learn of my other half's age in relation to mine. This confusion seems to make men think that I am a gold digger of some sort. I am not. If all I was after was a sugar-daddy, Brad would have been kicked to the curb a long, long time ago (romantically, at least. Sorry love, but you know it's true). This confusion, despite my explination of how special and different Brad is, also seems to make men think that I am into ALL older men in that age bracket. This, also, is untrue of my nature. As I always explain when I mention my love, while I do prefer my men to be older than me, Brad is the only man his age who has ever been attractive to me. Why, men Brad's age exactly, and sometimes even ten to fifteen years younger than me have flirted with me in the past, and all I've thought was, "Ew, you're old. Go away." Which brings me to the third part of this confusion, which apparently makes men think that since I am dating a significantly older man, I am the town bicycle. I AM NOT. I am no swinger, and I have never seen the point in cheating on a person. If one is unsatisfied by their current lover/significant other, and one wishes to be with somebody else, then by all means, end your current relationship, and pursue someone else! I am with the only man I have ever called "lover", and I hope for it to stay that way.

So, let's sum this up.

I am in love with my boyfriend. I am not a gold-digger, so don't try to lure me away with the promise of money. I am not into all men Brad's age (indeed, Brad is the exception), so if you consider yourself to be in his age bracket (or above), please, don't bother. And thirdly, I AM NO SLUT, so quit trying to woo me away from my man's side long enough for a roll in the hay.

We clear now?
