Alex when I was 24 and he was 35. I have not previously dated someone with that much of an age gap
but I decided that it wasn’t a valid reason to end the relationship.

It’s challenging at times
but it is important to maintain as much communication as possible in order to bridge the gap. Note — communication meaning understanding each other’s communication style
not just verbal communication. When we first started getting serious
a lot of people would make comments about the age gap
in particular my parents. They were very much thrown off by it. My parents had me at a very young age — 17 to be exact — and I am not going to lie
it did feel weird when my mother met my significant other. Eventually
she realized that it was silly to be against me dating him just because of the age gap. There are some family members that do not necessarily agree with the age gap
but at the end of the day
it is my relationship
not theirs. From the beginning
I realized that our life and career plans were very different. Alex lives in Los Angeles County and I live in Bakersfield
California (2 hours away). Not only did I face the age gap situation
but also the long distance. Once we discussed our life plans
we decided that I would move to Los Angeles after graduation. We came to this agreement after several years of balancing the pros and cons of both cities. Even though planning is crucial
COVID-19 taught us that we also must learn to live day by day and not rush things. Something that I’ve learned in our relationship is how to increase my emotional intelligence. Alex once told me
“You do realize not everything needs a reaction.” I immediately gave him a reaction following his unsolicited comment! I did not learn right away what he meant
but he eventually explained what he meant. I originally had taken it as always being angry. After speaking about his stoic stance
I realized that he was right.
