I'm a 30 year-old woman who pursued and dated a woman thirty years older than me. We were both attracted to each other and we enjoyed each other's company a lot. I'm not looking for a mother, nor a financial provider. We're both stable, professionally successful people. She was uncomfortable with the age difference from the beginning and would yo-yo a lot doing a come here, go away kind of thing. But she was also telling people in her life that we were seeing each other, was taking me to social gatherings where we were affectionate, etc. She told her daughter who is older than me and her daughter was very supportive. So, she had lots of positive reactions. But she was still really preoccupied with the age difference between us. She finally cut things off, fairly abruptly, recently. I thought things had been getting better -- we talked openly about her concerns -- but she said she just couldn't get past feeling like she was doing something "wrong" all the time. Something just didn't feel right about it, and she kept coming back to the age thing. I knew she wasn't fully present in the budding relationship, but I thought it would take her time to let go and feel like there was really nothing "wrong" at all about it. I'm respecting her wishes to take a break, but I still feel like there is a lot of good and a lot of potential in the relationship and don't want to give up. Is it hopeless to do battle with her feelings that the age gap just makes this "wrong"?
