I am a man in my late 20s. My partner is in his early 70s. We have now been together a little over a year. We are in a long-term intergenerational relationship.
With this blog I have decided to share my story in the hope that others interested in or a part of an age disparate relationship will know they are not alone. I also hope that others may read this and find that the idea of a May to December romance really isn’t so strange or foreign; to combat some of the myths that pervade our culture.
I intend my posts to be frank and honest examinations of romance, family, friendship, and social norms and expectations. That said, the details of some anecdotes may be changed to protect the privacy of my friends and family. I hope that my story and my thoughts on the subject of relationships will provide insights to others. Also, I welcome others to share their thoughts, feelings and questions.

Hi. Great blog. I am 40 and my boyfriend is 68. Thanks so much for writing. You’ve articulated many thoughts that I’ve had, but not organized coherently, and you’ve also got me thinking about other things that I hadn’t even considered. Great job.
