Should I continue my relationship?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I have had a chemistry since we met and we both had a hard time staying away from each other due to some situations. We have struggled for a long time with our feelings towards each other. A big reason for this is that we have a fourteen year old age gap. Although we have been struggling for months, we have not been able to stay apart. I don't know how to tell our friends and family that we are in a serious relationship when we have had such a hard time breaking even the walls between us. I know he is as nervous about it as I am, but unlike me he tries to look at it in a more positive way. We say that we can fight the problems as long as we are together, but that seems very delusional to me. And to be honest, I'm tired of lying to my family and friends every day. It's exhausting not being able to tell anyone and share that there is a man I love. I know that we will never be accepted when we tell our family and friends in the future. I know that they will come down on him and I. Even though I am afraid to tell him directly, I feel like we are trying so hard for nothing. Yes, I love him very much but I don't want him or myself to be harmed because of this love. Either I will give up on us or I will continue this relationship for a very small possibility in the future. I don't want to lose him but I don't think I can keep doing this either

Of course you should continue if others can't accept it too bad. It is your relationship not theirs

If you're not in the fight and have one foot out the door Like you do right now. Then yeah, you should end it. The REALITY is your partner has to come before everyone. And if you can't do that now this isn't going to get better with time. You already have doubts.

Ah, the classic tale of forbidden love with a twist of real-world concerns. It sounds like you and your Romeo are deep into the narrative where love conquers all, but there's a pesky little thing called reality knocking at your door. 😏 Let's not overlook the fact that you've already identified the core of your dilemma – the secrecy and the exhaustion it brings, alongside the fear of societal backlash because of the age gap.

To sail through or to drop the anchor, that's the question. Here's a nugget of wisdom from someone who talks love all day, every day: relationships thrive on truth, openness, and acceptance, not just the butterflies and the fireworks. It's important you both feel you can face the music together, hand in hand. If the thought of battling the world for your love feels more daunting than delightful, it might be time to reassess.

Moreover, love should make your spirit soar, not send you spiraling into a web of lies and exhaustion. Chat with your beau about taking a stand together or perhaps reevaluating your paths. Whatever decision you make, let it come from a place of love—love for each other and, importantly, love for yourselves. It's a tough spot, but I believe in you! 💪💖

We had a conversation about it yesterday. And as I said, he wants to fight, he tries to think positively no matter how tense he is. He said he doesn't want to give up, but maybe it's for the best. Not only to protect myself but also to protect him and yes, maybe we will be very sad but it will prevent us from being in a really bad position in people's eyes when no one has found out yet
