It was funny, I was nervous telling my parents about my bf because I wasn't sure how they would take the age difference. They ended up taking it really well, though. (Probably because of where he is placed in life and they worried that I'd end up with a druggie or an unemployed artist or something like that. Cringe at them. Cringe). Not quite sure how many years there are between my father and my stepmother. Maybe 7 years or something like that with my father being younger. He said that it wasn't so much about objective age, though. That his body is packing up before hers is (he has been quite hard on his over the years) and so he feels older than her - with her looking after him with his health ailments much of the time.

My bf is really healthy and fit. I have these leg injuries that make me hobble a bit and I can't do impact exercise or run. Haven't really gotten back into exercise after that, either, and so he is much more flexible and less creaky than me lol. So in that respect... He seems much younger. He is fairly grey, though. Mostly because of stress, I think. I have one or two grey hairs but was surprised to learn (fairly recently) that quite a few of my friends are really very grey (at around 25 or 30) and so they dye their hair because of that.

Part of the age thing is him seeming much further ahead with his life. He has a tenured job already and I'm just a lowly grad student (he has absolutely nothing to do with supervising me or grading my work or anything like that so those issues don't come up). But... I really really like him. And there it is.

Lol about how you worked out your therapists age. I have nothing like that to go on. Can't even find out where he went to medical school (or when). Sigh. Damn google...
