Good day, amazing people of the hive block chain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another edition of the #hivelearners community. Age is just a number. Do you think that age is just a number when it comes to relationships?
This saying has been a centre of argument for quite a long time now, probably longer than my existence, because nothing is new beneath the sun, save the current mind-blowing technologies.
If an age is calculated by the sun evolving the earth completely, then an age can be said to be completed.
As for many, their teachings made them value respect so much that they love it more than relationships; for others, they love it but have their own scale of preferences. Meaning they love it, but relationship and love for that relationship make them break some protocols that ought to be observed. Between friends who are of higher age, some jokes could be made, but mood is a determinant. Sometimes, due to love, mood is neglected, and the airways of informality are open. That doesn’t give a child the right to be inordinate in his informal actions. For when an elder gives a child the right to come freely and joke freely, the child should appreciate the fact that there is a difference between a right and a privilege.
So the matter of respect is vice versa, though there are other considerable factors that contribute to this. Like I mentioned before, mood, kind of personality, and behaviour of the person who has the informal airways open to him (how he utilises them)
Considering another angle of this topic, as regards the distances in age-afferent relationships, what difference in age is okay for marriage parties, and what should be the length of protocol as to respect that should or must be observed?
Some nice guy who is a bit husky but a bit cool did say, I would take a lady with whom I am right to be ten years older than, so I could bend her to my own form. Many girls grown are wild (not all though). Now I shall dissect this a little. Some ladies love some guys who are way older, so they could keep themselves to themselves because they know that they are not quite distant from disrespect. This is admissible for some in marriage. Others have their reasons for this, so they would have a man who is mature and has understood life. Some men believe the fear of the lady is needed, as it would help the woman conform to his personality.
Some others said, I cannot, for the age gap is so distant. Meanwhile, they fear that, while they are still young, the man might begin to develop some white beards. They also have this mindset that some men who might be older than them by far would need absolute respect, which they do not want to be subject to because they would love to be free, as well as misbehave sometimes (a sense of humour but true).
I know that age is just a number, but I can’t marry someone who is far older than me. Most people get married to people who are twenty years older than them because of money.
For me, I can’t go into a relationship with someone who is five years older than me. That is the maximum I can go with in a relationship. I will like to date or marry someone who is easy to talk to and play with. If I marry someone who is way older than me, I will find it very hard to talk or play with the person. I will always be careful about the things I say to him. I may end up fearing my man.
At some point in my life, I have come to realise that everything is not money. I can’t trade my happiness for money and stay with a man who is twenty years older than me. The money may be there, but I will not be happy, and I will not be proud to have him as a husband.
For me, age is not just a number one's. You are five years older than me. I am not interested in the relationship. I don’t want to enter a relationship that will enslave me. I will not be free to marry someone who is far older than me. I will not feel the vibes because they are always busy going from one meeting to another. You may like dating or marrying someone older than you. That is why we are humans; our choices differ. They will always say that another man's food is another man's poison.
This is my entry on the ongoing #hl-w125e1 topic. Age is just a number.
