Hi All,
I'm a little confused about this and I thought this at first when we first started the relationship, but now I feel it on and off sometimes more often.
Me(25) and my girlfriend who is now my fiance (35) have been with each other intimately since Aug of 2010. During our first month together before we were intimate we used to go everywhere, eat out for dinner or lunch, or go to places just on a friendly relationship basis. One night one thing lead to another and we had sex.
Anyways, a few weeks pass by we do it a couple times and then she brings up the fact that she already has a kid from a previous relationship, divorced, and is 10 years older then me. She told me I deserve someone better. But at that point, I was already in love with her, I just saw something in her that I've never had with any other girls and I told her how much I loved her. She told me several times and I said I don't care about her past, what happens from this point on and so on is what matters to me.
So 2-3 months later we were in the car and she would bring up the fact that sometimes she feels like I'm her little brother and I sometimes feel the same way too, but not as much as I do now. We both thought it was a little weird but we kind of didn't think of it anymore.
Few months pass by and it's June now. lately it's been a little bit more of that feeling now. I love her to death and I would do anything for her, but I too sometimes feel like she's a sister or a motherly figure. She even called me son like 2 times jokingly.
I know this is all too weird for everyone else here, but here I am posting to see if anyone has any experience in this whatsoever and if there is any explanation for it.
I love her intimately and much more, but sometimes i feel like I watch over her like a brother protecting her sister. We are open about everything with each other, we talk about anything and everything. I'm just trying to figure out if this is normal..to all the people here....to all the people here who love their partner, do you ever get the feeling like he / she is family and you will take care of them no better or worse?
I'm pretty open minded and thick skinned so go on and say what you need to say! :-)
