That's very sad but the fact is that he and his family do not deserve you. I appreciate that there are cultural differences where you are but one would hope, even so, that common sense would prevail.Jessie said:I'm 33. My (soon-to-be-ex) boyfriend is going to break up with me because he's 30 and his parents and he all think there's a higher risk of pregnancy related problems as I'm nearing 35. We have been dating for 7 months and he has never had such doubt before. Only now does he realise that he doesn't want to marry a woman older than him. What a joke. I feel as if I'm cheated. 😤
I have two sons. One from my first marriage who is 27 and one from my current one who is 17. My wife was 40 when she gave birth and there were no "pregnancy related problems" whatsoever and he has turned out to be a very fit and fine young man.
If he doesn't come to his senses he wasn't worth it in the first place and you shouldn't waste your energies on him. And I know that this is very hard for you but you should take comfort from the fact that most of those on this thread would give their right arm to be in your position of being 33. You might not think so but there is so much more of life left for you to look forward to.20 -

You know you’re getting old when Jessie posts her age and you realise your wife was older than her when you first met..and our kids are grown up...and we are grandparents...

Do you want to be in a marriage where his parents have such a big influence on your life? Just reading your post one gets the feeling that you are a lovely person, if he does not come to his senses you will find someone who will love you for yourself. Take it from an old git, there is no rush.Jessie said:I'm 33.

Cue his parents giving him grief..’she was only using you because she didn’t have a driving licence...’Jessie said:
Thank you. I do find it extremely alarming that he listens to his parents too much. Very controlling parents.The relationship has been very toxic for me in the past couple of months because of his awful parents. I'm going to leave him when I finish my driving test next week.Redrobo said:

My wife is older than me and that situation is not unusual. I appreciate that there maybe cultural differences.
He needs to grow a pair, as some say over here, and decide what is important to him.
You sound a lovely person Jessie and it is his loss not yours.7 -

I still love to visit antique shops and fairs though.1 -

Just 3 words, lovely Jessie....Jessie said:
Thank you. Actually it's not really that unusual here either. It's his parents' problem. He's got a fairly low salary and earns much less than his mother (and probably his father too). They have the final say on big things for him. I do know he is the wrong man for me (and for any other women too). It's just a bit hard for me to end this relationship right now. I'm a very loving person but sadly this has made me become the one that ends up getting hurt.LenGlover said:
