Older partner
I know how vain this sounds before I say it but I still have to get it off my chest.
I feel more pressure to be skinny because my parter and I have an age gap. I don't think people can get their heads around our relatioship unless we fit the cliche appearence of older man with skinny young girlfriend. I know it is a silly way to think, particularly because I know our relationship is more than that and I rather people acknowedge that we are together because we love each other but it is always in the back of my mind.
