Hello I’m a 26 year old woman and I’m in a relationship with a guy 31years older than me.

He is very good to me at times and other times he yells or gets upset when I say things he doesnt understand, its like he doesnt listen and only hears what he wants to hear. We have lived in the same house together for a year now and we plan to marry June 30th 2013. Everything is a debate with him-should I not comment and only say yes and no. What do I do? What do I say??? Help!

… You’re dating a 57 year old man?…… Why?…… If he even makes to the wedding, I don’t believe you’ll be very happy with him.. It sounds a lot like a taboo relationship.. Like, he’s treating you more like a daughter with benefits, rather than an actual engagement.

Everything is great except for the yelling. I know it’s taboo l, we have so much in common and we get along well. I just don’t understand the yelling.

Perhaps you should not seal your Electra complex (daddy issues) with a marriage, no?
It’s obvious that he treats you like a kid and not like an equal partner.

are you happy with him? Assuming the yelling never stops that is.

If the answer is yes then stay

If the answer is no then leave

FAR to many people believe that the bad things will disappear. They don’t, especially as you get older you get more set in your ways.

from the top of my head, gross…but that’s my personal opinion. you sure he’s yelling only about things which he ‘doesn’t understand’? could it be he really wants to control you(which seems pretty doable, since he’s already got you wondering whether you should even speak your mind…wow!)? he’s on the path to becoming an elderly person, if he’s going senile(for example), it’ll only get worse from here….do you have the patience/want to be a care-giver(some elderly are in need of diapers fyi)? you don’t sound too sure of yourself, i would suggest re-evaluating your life in general and making sure this is really a step you want to take.

you’re capable of getting yourself+kid out from whatever situation if you try hard enough. using others to do so while forcing yourself to be w/ this guy(not to mention your kid) is uh, far worse imo.
