You must have been not much more than 15 or 16 at the start, and for a man of 42/43 to be even interested in a girl that young, is well hun..not really normal, over 18 or over 21 I can see it, but 15 or 16.
What do you have in common, if he just sees you forr sex, then theres the clue...think about this, and don't get too involved.
Seperate comment, my father was 57 when I was born, mum was 36. I don't regret his age, he was smart, loving and taught me alot though he did die when I was 18. Theres a lot worse dads than an 'older dad', such as over young dads who run out on the mother and child..no?

Not until you're 18 so keep it on the down low.

It seems to me that you are having second thoughts about this relationship, otherwise you would not be asking our opinions.
What is it you two have in common? I have a daughter the same age as you, and would be horrified if she brought a man home old enough to be her father home to me. I would be wondering what his real intentions are and why he cannot find a woman nearer his own age too.
What does your parents say, do they approve? I am sorry to say this, but although you are of legal age somehow I find the whole thing rather inappropriate. Dusky xxx.

I can c why younger women go for the older man, but i cant understand at his age he knows that it is wrong for him 2 c u. Only 7 years between myself and my partner and i still find he talks about things that i missed out due 2 the 7 years age gap. This does not cause any problems but i can see where many years age gap would. He is old enough 2 be your father and should be as wise but it is clear that he is not. I can not see this lasting and only hope you can see the light of day soon.What do your friends and Family think about it ( and if they dont know why not? most of us r so pleased 2 show our loved ones off but i can not see any members of your family thinking this is good for you.
Good luck ,Hollyx
lEGAL IT IS, MORRALY THIS IS WAY OFF LINE.

Just what kind of a relationship do you have with this guy? Is it mostly sexual? Please give us more information. There are red flags flying all over the place on this one.

Excellent advice from Tom Wilkinson. Even if this relationship is legal, it's also inappropriate. You two are too different to have a real relationship that works well.

Yes it's legal, as long as you were 16 when you first started, however, it doesn't make it right. Youy have to think, when you're 25 do you really wanna be with a 51 year old? What if you have kids? The odds are their dad will be dead by the time they're 16, is that really fair?
