Dating someone 12 years older

At the time, I was telling the truth and I wondered why I had been so judgmental of dating a guy even 5 years older than me before (I often refused).As time went on and our lives became more intertwined my opinion shifted once again.Our problems are relative and the reality is, a lot of the day to day struggles you encounter in your early twenties may be different in your early thirties.It can be difficult for your significant other to fully understand your perspective if they have been removed from the same struggles for years.At first people would ask me if our age difference was bothersome, if it was difficult and/or how it affected our relationship.I would roll my eyes and scoff that it didn’t make difference other than that Jordan was more established in his life and career.When we first met it was a minor adjustment, in the initial dating period it didn’t matter at all, and now that we’re settled into a serious and committed relationship the difference is more substantial.Jordan wants to buy a house, while I’m still feeling stoked to have my own apartment.
