Topic: Relationship Saturday

Ladies, today I’m telling you to throw away and forget your ideas of “the perfect partner.” We imagine the man or woman we’d like to be with and conjure an image of what we’re looking for, whether it’s the color of their hair, height, body weight, age, style… Forget about it! Having these standards may be your barrier from finding someone that truly makes you happy.

My name is Isabella, I am 23 years old, live in Miami, FL, USA, and just recently married. My husband is 42 years old. There is a huge age difference. Decades apart. To put things in perspective, he graduated high school in the US when I wasn’t even born yet. 🙈 My “dream” guy when I was young was a brown-haired, green-eyed guy around my age, a few inches taller, and fit but not too muscular. My soulmate turned out to be bald and much older!

When we first met we had no idea what we would become. As we spent more and more time together, it was clear we had a level of chemistry that could not be ignored. When we’re together age isn’t even a number, it simply doesn’t exist. We had many discussions about the “what if’s” of our age difference and our future and ultimately decided that we’d be fools to not even try. 3 years later and we’re happily married.

Moral of the story… keep an open mind. Don’t reject someone because “they’re shorter than I’d like them to be,” etc. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Maybe, your partner isn’t born yet. 🙂 Don’t give up!

Is anyone else in an “unconventional” relationship?

P.S. We were in Prague yesterday and we are currently in Berlin!
