I've had 3 AGR since my mid-50's. The first was exciting but shallow and didn't last very long. The second was very satisfying but she had to move to another city for an opportunity she wanted to pursue. This last was an absolute disaster and has made me less confident. It's shaken me quite a bit.
The young lady in question I met through Reddit. Her post was VERY attractive and appealing to me. I won't go into all the details, but her situation was such that we felt it would be good for her to come stay with me after around 12 hours of conversation. When she arrived, suddenly she wasn't at all the person she described herself as. I tried to adjust and be flexible and see things from her perspective.
What was shocking to me was the level of entitlement, victimhood and resentment she held against the generations who came before her.
Social Justice, LBGTQ issues, politics, Political Correctness... I felt like I was walking on eggshells and almost didn't want to have any conversations for fear of being "corrected" and educated. I've dated (and married) outside of my race, I've lived 11 years outside of the US in different countries. I'm kind to everyone I meet, but I feel like the younger generation is spoiling for a fight with my generation.
Was this a one-off? Did I just happen to meet someone with diametrically different world-view or have others encountered this?
Please don't flame me. I simply want to know if this was the exception or if I continue to pursue AGR's I can expect this to be common. I don't want to bash ANYONE'S choices for their lives, I just don't feel that being White, Christian, middle-aged and financially comfortable makes me a fair target, either.
