Struggling Little

[sunflowerxprincess]

I’m 21, will be 22 next month. My boyfriend is 24, almost 25. He likes to call himself my Daddy but it doesn’t feel right. When I was 19 I dated a 52 year old man for 6 months and there were issues but I was happy. I miss being with an older man so badly. I miss having a daddy I could be myself with. I just want an older Daddy. but I can’t just break up with my boyfriend, he’d kill himself. I’m miserable and idk what to do.

As someone who has had a similar problem before, please don't stay with someone only because they threaten to kill themselves.

I suggest pushing them to do therapy and self reflect about how their actions and words affect others and how they can better their mental health. But ultimately at the end of the day, this is not your fault nor should it be your responsibility. We can only do so much, but "fixing" him is not your job.

 

This sounds really harsh but I would talk about therapy, if he's really reluctant I would leave. Life is short, and wasting my short life on someone who doesn't make me happy or satisfied is not worth it to me.

 

It's hard, but I hope this works out for the better! <3 please stay safe and you are loved and appreciated
