Family help: Im having trouble with my moms new boyfriend he’s half - Help.com

Age is just a number but if you have problems with your mam’s choice of new partner then you should be telling her…. and i mean telling her …. not standing there shouting it’s sick, gross or sad….. explain why you are having a hard time adjusting to her new partner being in her and your life.

DEFINITELY let your mother know how you feel. Accepting that is hard cause how do you look at someone as a “father figure” so to speak..when they are close enough in age for you to have friends in common?? When you may run into them at a party?? When the are only 2 yrs ahead of you in school..lol..sorry it’s not funny but you know what I mean!

Good luck

it is a number..sometimes it works out,s ometimes it doesn’t, but hey, thats how it is with all relationships, regardless of age. my current boyfriend is 10 years older than me..and i can’t remember when i was more happy.
you have to remember that your mother is a person, and feelings or wants can’t be turned on and off like a switch. she loves you but she is still living her life.
talk to her, be open, be calm. let her know that it bothers you and figure out why. but you need to be accepting of her choice. if its ONLY bothering you because of his age, well maybe thats a good thing. as long as there isn’t any abuse or taking advantage, etc. then, whats the harm?

Well if it makes you feel any better…I have a son..from a man that has a daughter..that is only 8yrs younger than me. We DID NOT get along at ALL when I first met her. It changed once I had my son…

Her current boyfriend..is older than me!

So in some senses it IS just a number…in others it is just uncomfortable..so again…say something you your moms
