“Choose Stability Over Adventure”

Spread the love

When I first started dating, I was all about excitement and adventure. I wanted someone my age, someone who could share in the wild journey of life. My mom, however, had different ideas.

“Why struggle?” she would ask. “Do you really want to waste your time with a man who’s still figuring it out? You need someone who’s already built something, someone who’s been through life and come out the other side.”

“Like who?” I asked, half-expecting her to suggest someone closer to her age than mine.

“Men in their 50s,” she said without hesitation. “They’ve done the hard work. They’re more mature, they understand life better, and they usually have financial stability. They’ve got more to offer than just excitement.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “So, you’re saying I should date someone who’s lived through two decades of adulthood already?”

“Exactly,” she said with a smile. “Someone who knows how to handle responsibilities, and most importantly, has the means to make your life easier. No chasing dreams—just enjoying life together.”

Her advice always stayed in the back of my mind. And as I got older, I realized that dating someone with experience, stability, and wisdom wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
