Forbidden Love

People (mainly parents) will intervene and make decisions for their children when they feel their child is headed in the wrong direction and of course, right now you don't understand why (though deep down I feel you do). It might have been wrong for the decision to be made without your knowledge but I believe it was done out of love and concern. You are only 18 which means this man was near 30 ( being that he is 10 years older right). Ten years is a lot of time and experience and I don't know who this person is that decided that you couldn't see this man anymore, but they were probably thinking the same thing. I wouldn't want my niece seeing a man that was 28 while she was only 18. Technically, women are supposed to date someone 10 years our senior but I believe it's better when we reach a certain age, like you being 30 and he being 40 because it sounds better like that. By law you may be a woman but actually you are still a girl. Holding on to grudges makes the heart weak so let it go.

I don't think there is anything wrong with such age gap. Well, of course, it matters if and when you are too young to be in such a relationship. If you believe you are ready for such relationship and you think that you are in the right age, go ahead. If you love him that much, you should fight for the relationship. However, remember to fight for the right reasons.

I'm in a serious, longterm relationship with someone ten years older than I am, so I'm not seeing the problem, unless you're underage. As for getting over him and moving on, I don't think anything but time will help with that. How did someone make the decision for you? That sounds rather terrible and probably made everything more traumatic. I would have a hard time accepting that, too, even if it was in my best interests. Why can't you make contact with him now?

Of course u can perfectly handle it. just consider it as a part of ur growing up and a very rewarding one coz this experience definitely shapes ur personality.
