I'm 19 and have been in a relationship with a 29 year old man for the past two years. I knew he had his share of problems and self image issues when I agreed to "marry him" -now two years later, he's about to turn 30 and has  been told he was too old by some people. Now he's being depressed. When I told him people grow old and guys loose interest but in the end what matters is that your partner is still attracted to you and loves you. His reply was that he wants other people to want him too. I realize that the age difference has something to do with it. But I also think that since I've had a lot of people tell me how hot I am may upset him.  This is not my first LTR. I've been in LTR since I was young. My question is "Can you ever really be enough to make someone happy or satisfied in life?" All I ask is that you don't give me the your young you will learn and experience life.

 

You will never be enough if they are not really happy with their lives or with themselves.  You can be supportive and help them go through their issues. But they have to make themselves happy with their own achievements.  In a healthy relationship, it is not all about one person completing someone's life. It is about 2 people growing together.  You do your part and the other person does his part.  So don't expect to complete his life. Complete your life and then be there for him to complete his life.   Good luck!
