The couple was head over heels in love with one another when they first met some years ago, but now, not so much. You see, she experienced far too many disappointing moments with the man who she calls, "Sugar Daddy." She had hoped that maybe the relationship would have matured by now. But he and she aren't interested in anything more than sex these days.
What appeared to be so right, ended up so wrong when the young woman finally realized she bit more off than she could chew by involving herself with an older man decades older than she. He too, thought that being with his younger partner was a bit too much for him to handle mentally and physically, yet he pressed on with the relationship anyway.
Now the pair are nothing more than periodic sex partners with very few common interests. They just don't have that "spark" for one another anymore--they have grown apart. Yet, the sex keeps them connected, at least for the time being, until one or both insults the other in a dispute, then off they go taking a sabbatical away from one another in minds and sometimes with feet too--that is until "missing you" feelings draw them back together again. On the outside looking in, witnesses might describe the couple as "pathetic, weak, dysfunctional..." but it works for them now.
If your relationship with an older or younger partner is somewhat like what has been described, then you just might want to begin to emotionally and physically set yourself free if the situation is causing you misery. Why dump your personal frustrations and dislike on to someone who isn't going to change his or her lifestyle or behaviors to suit you? Move on.
