An Opinionated Daddy's View of Life

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

NOTE TO DADDIES #4: THERE MAY HAVE BEEN DADDIES BEFORE YOU, AND THERE WILL PROBABLY BE DADDIES AFTER YOU.

THIS DADDY imagines that all Daddies dream that they’ll meet the perfect Hunter. They hope that they’ll fall in love, their lives will be complete, and the two of them will go riding off into the sunset on their Harley, living happily ever after. One of the hardest things about dating younger guys, is the knowledge up front that these relationships often have a limited shelf life. Daddy/Hunter relationships are all about learning, sharing, and growing, growing sometimes meaning moving on. As corny as it sounds, these relationships can be sort of like the ‘circle of life’. So, it is quite possible, unless he is a virgin (or you are the first Daddy with whom he’s been), the Hunter with whom you fall in love has been with a Daddy before. Like you, that Daddy likely had strong opinions on all sorts of topics: monogamy, moving in together, safe sex, etc. So, what does that mean for you? It means that sometimes the Hunter you love will say things or do things that to you seem illogical. Sometimes he will get upset about things that you do or don’t do or insist on things that to you seem ridiculous. Is he right, maybe. Are you right to find this frustrating, maybe. But if you understand this going into the relationship, and you have frank discussions about issues as they arise, you are both more likely to be happier. Besides, it is quite possible that you will learn something, which I always a good thing. However it works out, a brief time shared, or a lifetime of love, try to find a way to find enjoyment in every minute you share together.

At least that is what THIS DADDY thinks.
