I'm 18 and have just got out a relationship in the past month. Recently, I have been seeing someone new, but he's 10 years older than me and is currently going through a divorce. People keep telling me I'm doing the wrong thing and that I'm just going to end up hurt, but I want to prove them all wrong..

I don't know what to do?

Help!

Hi there,

I was in a similar situation this time last. I would say be VERY careful. The chances are that this man isnt interested in any kind of serious relationship right now. You may end up being the rebound.

I know you may not have wanted to hear that, but it had to be said (as I was deeply hurt by the man I was dating).

I suggest that you both be very open and honnest about what you want, and be careful that you're both on the same page.

Best of Luck :)

my current girlfriend's prior bf was eight years older than her. she had just gotten out of the 3+ year relationship she had with her high school sweetheart and rebounded with the older dude, 28 years to her 20. he was also in the process of legalizing a divorce. it ended seven months later with her heartbroken. he took her for a ride, and she regrets ever being with him. nothing is impossible, but i'd be very very cautious. that is a huge age gap, especially at those ages. and if he's going through a divorce, he's not looking for anything serious. honestly, i thinking proceeding with that relationship and expecting forever is stupid, and you will only wind up hurt.

tread carefully.
