Ok!

my boyfriend likes to go to clubs and drink and socialize with his buddies,and he’s a lot older than me and he tells me not to control his life,I am not controling his life I told him I don’t want to go to clubs no more and he said ok! I said he can still go,and he said that’s oh ok that’s Great! .
But inside I really don’t like when he goes. He tells me not everyday but once a month he tells me.
But I noticed he’ll have a beer on aweekend when he’s finished working and he hangs with his buddy and his buddy is an alcholic,and it makes me scared.
But I been with mybf almost 4 years in June and I cry because it seems he’d rather be with his friends then me,I am 25 and he’s 36 we had made a promise just us.
I noticed he don’t want to go to a movie with me he rather fix vehicals.
I feel funny about this and I need help in what to do? he tells me he’s fine and stop worring he says trust him.

Wow i can read between the lines on this one. Look im not sure who this guy is, so to be fair i can only suggest that it doesnt sound promising. But also it sounds like you need someone older and he is supplying that need. Maybe he was looking for someone younger (obviously) and you were that girl. Its a difficult thing really to find what you want to do. I get a sense that you are kind of meak and mild and that he expects that kind of thing from you, so obviously if you were to do what i would advise (which is to tell him look stop drinking with your lousy friend and hang out with me) he’d get pissed off. I think you should just find someone else. Love is so overrated. Im kind of bitter and you might think that biases this opinion but think about it.

If you strong enough still, emotionally that is then make a brake for a couple of days and really dont phone him or nothin. He will wake up and fight for you if he has a back bone. Otherwise you sound really sweet get yourself together be assertive and tell him its time to grow up. 36… still going to clubs?? I dont know I agree with you dont like that at all. There is a time and place for everything and it should have been in his 20’s. Good luck.

25 and 36 is not much of a diffrence that only 11 yrs, I like older guys too, If you decide to take a break , he older he learned how to move on so don’t try that if you don’t want to lose him.

My question is do you live with him? If you do does he drink home that is why I ask. I don’t know if he drinks at home and weekends. or maybe he drinks only in weekends. if he drinks at home and weekends I would worry, i don’t like alcholics that is a serious addiction.

If he tells you to trust him, then do. 36 yr old I think there mature meaning there play days are over. he problably in years of serious relationships. I can be wrong don’t go by my word. His job can be stressful and he like to be with friends in the weekends. You don’t want him to die high blood pressure because of his job.

There is a big possibility that he saying the truth to trust him. If you see something like a mark of woman on him or something strange then you can worry. If he comes home to sleep and you know where he is at then you don’t have to worry.

Hi.
You are a part of that relationship and should be his priority. I think he is showing you exactly how he feels about you and what he expects of you. Perhaps cuz of your age he feels he can set the rules for your relationship since he’s older. Don’t let him.

There are alot of successful relationships where there is a big age difference, but just know that many times the older a person is the more set in their ways they are and they will not change them. Which, if you think about it, this may be why he is single at his age.

You’re young. Don’t let him take from you the joy and the experiences the 20’s give us. You have rights in this relationship. Stand up and assert them.

If you’ve told him that you are not trying to control him but you would like more of his attention and he doesn’t listen to you, then that is something you will have to address.

I would like to add something about the age difference. I would just want you to consider this. Why do you, think that, at the age of 36, he would like to go out with a 25 year old and display behaviour that is more typical of 25 year old’s then 36 year old’s?

I believe that in any relationship the decisions is truly up to you and no one else can tell you how to think, act, react or respond. Trust your gut. Are you focused on the things you don’t like which seem negative or have you considered focusing on all the positive things in the relationship that you both bring to the table or bed?
