Resent boyfriends child?

I understand where your coming from. I'm kind of going through the same things. But not really. My (older) bf has had a very "colorful" past with lots of sexual experiences, and partying, etc... Even tho I have my own past, I HATE hearing about his. We almost broke up because I found some old pictures of him and an ex (about 5-6 yrs before we even met) I know its jealously, and insecurities, but its also resentment. I just have to constantly remind myself that things are different now, and what he did in his past is no different than mine.

Until you figure out, and deal with the real root of the problem it won't go away. Plus, I think being 22, and having to deal with a 15yr old is hard enough, and presents its own problems. Try keeping a journal to at least help you vent these feelings. And try to channel the energy into something else. NOTHING good comes of resentment. It only tears you apart inside, and makes you a lesser person for holding onto so many nasty feelings and thoughts.

Good luck with it all.

I don't understand- you're 22, and you've been with this guy for 2 years. Why are you "nowhere near" getting married? What's holding you back? Most people either know their in love and want to spend the rest of their lives with someone by that time or they should be able to figure out that this is not the right relationship for them. This guy is clearly a lot older than you. You don't have to be a mother to a 15 year old, but you should certainly be able to share the family celebrations if you're living with the guy. Why aren't you enjoying this ready-made family?

There's no need to get jealous at all.

The love he has for you both is completely different.

The sooner you accept his son in your life as a part of your family, the better :) you'll see.

My partner and I have a big age gap, I am 23 and he also has a 15 year old.

It can work :)
