Topic : 03/29 Cougars and Sugar Daddies

I think your story is great....But that is not how alot of the stories end up.

Wow. After watching this show, I'm very upset. Now this is only going to reinforce the negative stereotypes surrounding not only age gaps, but teenagers in general.

I'm 18, and I honestly act nothing like that girl. She even annoyed ME. However, having said that, I believe that if both Jacqueline and Sanjay are happy with their relationship, then nobody else should judge them.

Though if anybody is interested in possibly giving out advice, could you?

I am dating an older man myself (he's 8 years older than me, 26). We've been dating for three months and he's a really fantastic guy. My family hasn't met him yet, but they're going to at Thanksgiving. I've been very upfront from the beginning about his age, because I don't feel that there is anything wrong with it.

Unfortunately my family disagrees. And I know they're going to give him a hard time.

Anyone have any tips on how I can handle their negativity, because it's bound to happen? Thank you.

Well two adults of legal age.It is their life

I say let them live it.If they make a mistake

 they will deal with the out come.

But the one couple where kids involved

they need to rethink and do what

Dr.Phil says and go to a professional

and talk EVERYTHING out completely.

It is not just them that are involved.

   And with sugar daddy and young girl

yes both of legal age it is their choice as well.

   But one thing of advice ,,If the gifts and money mean nothing

then she needs to take another look cause there is not love and protection

there from him

whil friend was ripping into her the one who soul

is suppose to be connected to hers with love and so forth was just laughing.

He had no protective instincts what so ever towards her.

I mean where was the love from him?

well yes cause if he actually cared for her

he would not have just laughed

and said nothing when his friend was

saying all those things

about her while she was crying.

It isn't for anyone outside the relationship to decide about compatibility issues. Haven't we all known someone who is prematurely old or remains childlike all throughout life? Each relationship has to be evaluated strictly by the two people in it and no one else knows anything about it FOR SURE. If a couple was serious about the relationship, it is my opinion they should seek some sort of premarital counseling, religious or not, to be proactive. My husband and I attended a six-week group for couples whose marriages were severely on the rocks. We were newlyweds with no problems to speak of. The group was called "Marriage Rebuilders." We learned a great deal that we still use to keep our relationship on track. It isn't about age, it's about committment to each other and the work that needs to be done to keep a relationship thriving.

As for legalized prostition, I would ask the person who made that comment whether he works for a living. What the hell is the difference? Most of us give of ourselves one way or another to get money or support. We're all prostitutes in some way.
