When I was 21, I dated a 42 year old man for about a year. Yup, twice my age! My friends were sooo unsupportive, but my family was surprisingly ok with it (I guess they figured since I never got in trouble and had always done well in school, I coud make reasonable decisions). Anyway, although he was definitely immature for his age (never married, lived with a roomate, no financial managemen skills and zero money), he was extremely smart and funny, very political, and treated me like a queen. He was my first real love, actually. We reluctantly ended the relationship after a year because I think we both knew we didn't have a future, but I'm really glad I spent that time with him.
P.S. The guy I dated after that was also older (30) and going through a divorce, and one of my friends said, "What's next, a priest?!":)
You?
Re: Who's the most inappropriate person you ever dated?
My daughters father...yikes.
He was the typical bad a$$, I was the straight A student...to this day I have no idea what attracted me to him (may he rest in peace)
A guy who was 10 years older than me that I met in a bar. I was on the rebound from a long relationship and was looking for a good time. He was completely unreliable and irresponsible, but he was fun. He spoiled me and always knew about the fun events in the city. He was incredibly spontaneous, which was sometimes good, but sometimes left me stood up. Sometimes I miss the spontaneity and wildness because DH is very cautious and nervous about going into the city (it really isn't so safe unless you know where to go - Detroit), but then I remember the lies and his completely unreliable nature. His life was one big party and I couldn't sustain that for any period of time.
My other one would be my boss' son. He was also older and completely unreliable, however he was beyond gorgeous. He was my first love, but looking back I realize that he really treated me like crap. At one point he took me on a date to the movies, but spent the time watching his portable television he brought in his pocket (this was 14 years ago, way before smartphones and such). After that relationship, I learned how NOT to be treated.
I am not proud of this, but I dated a married man. He was separated from his wife, but she was pregnant with their second child. He was with me for almost 6 months, and went back to her right before the baby arrived. I did still see him a couple times after they got back together, and that is why I am so ashamed of it.
I got what was coming to me though, because my DS1's dad was cheating on me the whole 3 years we were together.
Present tense? Is this recent?
I am not proud but dated a married man once too. I believed all the lies..."I'm gonna leave her" blah blah blah. I regret the relationship and am also ashamed of what I did. When I started dating DH, he asked if what bad things I had done in my life...trying to get to know each other. I told him about the married guy, why I did it, why I regret it and what I learned from it. I didn't want to start dating someone new and have it start with lies like I never did anything wrong. I know I am flawed and wanted to be honest about it.
No, sorry. He didn't want to settle and he still doesn't. I still talk to him and hangout with him though. H knows and is fine with it. We are really good friends and we all get along well.
ETA: He has a girl friend right now and he cheats on her all the time. That poor girl has no idea and she is so sweet. It's hard to decide if I tell her or not, but I'm not really close with her so I feel like it's not my business.
