Yes we are we work together in a career environment not just like retail or whatever. I’m pretty advanced for my age I guess and he might be a little behind lol

I know but he just makes me feel so amazing 😭. There’s 0 red flags and I just like it’s real. We’ve talked about getting married

you might be faster career wise but you aren’t mentally or emotionally.

I was your age 5 years ago, it’s easy to disregard those kinds of concerns when you’re 18

and if he is on the same emotional level as you (someone undeveloped) then he will likely never mature while you do when you develop. as this age it’s not good to have such a large gap between development levels

People really underestimate how much people mature mentally in their later teen years through early adulthood, you still have a lot more maturing to do

And to me there’s just no reason we can’t grow together idk

and that’s the issue. you are TOO young to understand and too young for him

Oh babe. Please run while you can. One of the red flags is the fact he’s dating you instead of women his own age because they know he’s trash.

This is either a troll post or just a very sad situation. He will show you his red flags eventually, if you don’t consider a 26 year old fully grown man seeking out teens to date and jump into marriage with immediately as one already.

He has never dated someone this young before. His ex was 24. He treats me amazing and is very emotionally mature

He isn’t seeking out teens. We met and clicked and he was initially kind of put off by my age. I pursued him a little as he pulled away. We both want to

There’s. A. Reason. He’s. No. Longer. Dating. Women. His. Age. Please listen to the advice you are being given and leave him. There’s no reason for someone who’s almost 30 to be dating someone under 20.

I get that. And absolute worst case is that happens and we part as close friends with good memories. We’ve talked about it. I don’t want anyone my age I want him. I’ve never been treated this well or been made to feel so good in every way

He worships me

The fact that he’s into the idea of marrying an 18 year old as a 26 year old man is concerning. Might take you a few years to realize it, but I hope you eventually do. Wouldn’t even consider that as a 23 year old

She’s too young to understand anything we’re telling her, she will learn as years pass just as we did

I just truly believe I’m the 1/100 I understand there’s a lot of freaks out there I just refuse to believe he’s one of them

It was my idea to be honest he’s never been the marriage type. And I want to be married

And I need you to understand that you are not that 1/100. If you’re not going to listen to anything anyone says and you wanna keep justifying your creepy boyfriend go ahead and find out the hard way babe. I hope you come to the realization soon.

I have no hope for you, have fun getting played by a man who’s pathetic enough to manipulate young girls.
