Dating an older man = 'daddy issues"?

  • Thread Starter

Well it's past 4am and my restless legs are keeping me awake long enough to think rambling thoughts - My current partner is technically old enough to be my father. This seems to cause some people in real life and on here to talk about resolving my 'daddy issues' - I am curious how many of you think that dating an older man must mean you have issues of this nature? Do you believe such a relationship can succeed long term?

Unsurprisingly I don't think this because

a. all of my exes but him have been my age - have I just suddenly developed daddy issues out of nowhere?
b. I get on with my father fine, but he has always been a much older father, so my partner in no way reminds me of him. Plus my partner is v young looking and acting anyway, his age was certainly a surprise in some ways.
C. While it is common for younger girls to date older men, it is also common for men to like sexy older women or MILFs without people thinking they have mummy issues. And an older man dating a younger woman isn't accused of having 'daughter issues' lol.

So yeah I'm just curious what your thoughts are really. Don't worry about offending me either :)
