I'm 22, he's 42. We've been friends for a couple of years. A few months ago he told me he's cared for me all this time. He's smart, successful. I'm a cashier who has no idea what she wants to do w/her life.When we've discussed life/family things he's always said how he feels we're equals. I don't see how.
He's supportive emotionally and has offered me assistance financially(I thanked him but declined). He asks me about his new house, decor tips, what kind of things I'd prefer.Has said he wants to spend his life with me, said he loves me. He's said and offered everything a girl could want.
My fear is if I accept his feelings, and get invested what if I lose him? He's in great shape, but if years down the road we're together and something happens to him I'd be left alone in the middle of my life.
Losing a grandmother or friend is 1 thing but fear of *possibly* losing a partner when in my 40s-I don't think I'm strong enough. Is this reason enough to not try the relationship?
