not at all and I think you handled it in a mature way and I think she needs to stay the hell out of your business -


he should be proud to be with you


He totally took my side. but it's like maybe I shouldn't have called her out like that.

Totally agree.

Clouded-I am sorry to hear that you don't have a strong support system readily accessible to you. Can I pray for one for you? The internet is great but it doesn't replace a one on one conversation over coffee followed by a really good hug.

I have no idea if you are a b!tch or not....we here on the boards are in no position to make that kind of judgment....to me anyone that is prone to calling others names or belittling, its more of a reflection of who they are as a person....You don't have to sit there & defend your maturity level to anyone.....

as far as age being just a number....I agree with you....to me its the persons heart & mind that makes them desirable....hope things work for you....

and next time you need to confront this woman or anyone else....take a deep breath, pause & then punch her out....lol (just kidding on the punch her out part)...wish you well :smile:

The next time you speak to her, use the calmest, most gentle tone of voice. When one does that, it convey's intelligence hence, maturity and, superiority. Once it sink's in, she may not approach you again, for fear of feeling STUPID. Again.flowerforyou

Okay here is the situation.

I have been through a lot and found a guy that I am dating, problem is all of his friends have an issue with my age. He is 37 I am 23. So one of his friends says I am not mature enough, so I look her straight in the eye and say "Age is a number, maturity is a state of mind, and if you are too immature to see that maybe you have some growing up to do." Then she went, "What makes you think you are mature?" "My life/my experiences." Then she says "Care to elaborate" I say "No, thank you." Okay so she still has issues with me and now she calls me "the b*tch" Was I wrong in how I handled it?

You handled it just right, after all you could have slapped, hit, bit or kicked her. Which would have put you in trouble. The way you handled it showed Maturity and Intelligents. Remember the way she feels about you has nothing to do with you.

PS my friends and family have a universal "Are you happy"
"yes"
"Then just take it slow"
"Okay"
Approach.

I've always thought that someone who likes to call other people immature, is usually immature themselves. But i really don't think it's your maturity that she finds offensive.

Women often get defensive around younger, attractive women. They know instinctively that guys are often attracted to physical beauty, which, does have a tendency to deteriorate with age. (I know it seems cold) And for some reason, due to the man's ability to provide and social status, women are generally more attracted to older men. Anyway, she sees you as a threat. Could be a number of reasons. Maybe her husband made a comment about you being attractive or something. This is her problem. I emphasize that it's HER problem.

Nifty thing is if you don't get hung up on it, and you continue to handle yourself maturely, everyone else will see how much of a kid she's being. After a while you will probably have people defending you. Especially if she complains about it a lot. Everyone gets sick of hearing the same complaint over and over. Seriously, it could be fun to sit back and watch her make a fool of herself.
