How Dating Older Women Nearly Drove Me to Fraud

I’m Justin, 29, and I’ve always chased women older than me. After several relationships left me drained and heartbroken, I’m questioning if this type ever worked in my favour. My first crush was on a 19-year-old family friend when I was 11. In university, I dated Samiat, who relied on me academically and never reciprocated. Esther was private and financially established, which made me feel inadequate. With Ngozi, her urgency for marriage and constant need for reassurance stretched me so thin that I considered fraud to keep up. That experience taught me not to bend to someone else’s timeline. Timing and mutual support matter more than age differences. Right now I’d rate my single life 4/10, but I’m ready to move on and find someone who truly understands me.
