How I handled my twin flame age gap

If you are reading this, you might be struggling with the fact that you and your twin flame have quite a significant age gap.

Don’t worry, I’ve been in your shoes and I know how unsettling it can be to start thinking about it.

What will people say? Are they really my twin flame? How can our life work together?

Luckily, I made mistakes so that you don’t have to, and I decided to write down how I handled my twin flame age gap.

Feel free to use my story as inspiration and hopefully, it will help you in your own life:

1) Don’t feel pressured to rush into a decision – I took my sweet time to see if this was right for me

As you can imagine, this was a pretty big decision for me.

Even though I felt that this was my twin flame, I did not feel pressured to rush into a decision, especially since my twin flame and I were in such different places at the time.

We took extra time to communicate and get to know each other before making any decisions regarding our relationship, including moving in together.

Because of this, I was able to make sure that this was the right decision for me, and that I was ready.

If you feel pressured to rush into a decision, you might not be ready for it, and that is okay.

People these days seem to feel pressured to rush into life decisions, such as moving in with their significant others, getting married, having children, or buying a home – don’t rush into any of these things until you’re ready!

Especially when a huge age gap is involved, you can take your time and really figure out if this person is meant for you or not before making anything official.

This can be stressful, which is why my next point is even more important:

2) I took extra time to take care of myself during that time

One of the biggest things that helped me navigate my twin flame age gap was that I took extra time to take care of myself.

This can be different for everyone, but it was important to me that I was taking care of myself and putting my own needs first before I could welcome my twin flame into my life.

I started doing yoga, going out with my friends to enjoy myself, spending more time alone, and taking vacations to get out of my normal routine and explore new things.

I also made sure to keep up with my self-care even when I was extra stressed about the age gap.

It is easy to get into a routine where you are constantly busy, especially when you are avoiding your emotions because of an issue like that.

While it is important to keep up with your life, it is also important to make time to take care of yourself and remember who you are.

Taking care of myself has helped me to realize a lot about myself and life, which brought me to this conclusion:

3) I realized that age doesn’t matter

I know that an age gap can be one of the biggest things that people will focus on when it comes to your twin flame relationship.

However, I realized that age doesn’t matter. Yes, having a significant age gap can be challenging, but it can also be a blessing in disguise.

Having an age gap means that you have more life experience, and therefore, you can offer your partner more life experience or vice versa.

Having an age gap means that you have different interests, and therefore, you can learn different interests from your partner and find new passions.

Having an age gap means that you have different ways of communicating, and therefore, your relationship can be completely unique and you might learn a lot.

You see, having an age gap means that you can have a different perspective on life, and therefore, your horizons will be expanding.

Simply put, having an age gap can be challenging, but it can also be an opportunity to learn and grow together.

Once I realized this, I was a lot more open to the idea of being with someone much older than me.

But I wanted to make sure I was making this decision for the right reasons, which brings me to my next point:

4) I found happiness within myself so that I could be sure that this relationship was healthy for me

I got really honest with myself and my twin flame about our feelings, desires, and needs.

I made sure to communicate how I felt about my twin flame, my relationship, and about my own life.

Before deciding anything, I made sure to communicate my needs, desires, and boundaries so that my twin flame knew what I needed from the relationship as well as from them personally.

This communication was extremely important because it allowed me to be sure that this was a healthy relationship for me.

But not just that, I also focused on finding happiness within myself, first.

You see, in the past, I always looked for happiness in a partner, and that led me to some unhealthy and codependent dynamics because I felt like I needed them in my life.

I wanted to make this decision with a level head, so first, I found happiness within myself and then I made a decision about my relationship.

Now: this next point will be just as important:

5) I didn’t let the age gap scare me

This can be scary, especially if you are in a relationship where you feel pressured to fit into someone else’s timeline.

You might feel like your twin flame is pressuring you, or you might feel pressured to fit into someone else’s timeline, which is not your timeline.

Don’t let the age gap scare you away from this relationship. It is okay if you don’t fit into the timeline that society has.

This is your life, this is your relationship and this is your timeline.

If you find that you are feeling pressured, it is important to communicate this to your twin flame.

But what helped me personally, was talking to a professional about this.

I turned to the people at Psychic Source and they were honestly amazing.

They taught me that there are so many people with big age gaps out there and they helped me realize that I wasn’t alone in this situation.

If it wasn’t for them, I don’t know if I’d have been brave enough to make the best decision of my life…

6) I saw how much my partner could teach me

When I really saw how much my partner could teach me, it became clear that I had nothing to worry about.

I saw how much my partner had to offer me and how much my partner could help me grow and expand as a person.

I saw how much my partner could help me heal and overcome my past.

But not just that, I saw how much my partner could help me grow as a human being.

You see, I saw how much my partner could help me overcome my fears, insecurities, and challenges.

Because of our age gap, my partner could help me become the best version of myself.

This was a huge realization for me, and it truly held me in good stead.

But it wasn’t always easy to accept the reality, which I wanna touch upon as well:

7) I accepted reality with all its ups and downs

This might not be easy, but it’s necessary. Accept that your twin flame might not be able to do all the things you want to do.

Accept that your twin flame might not be able to live as long as you.

Accept that their life is their life and that you don’t have any control over it.

Accepting the age gap was difficult because there are many downs to it, as well.

Your twin flame might not be able to be as involved in your life as you would like them to be or you might have to travel between countries to see each other.

You might not have the same financial capabilities as your twin flame because of your age gap.

Perhaps you might have to take on a bigger financial burden in this relationship than your twin flame does.

Most importantly, you might have to make sacrifices in your own life to make this relationship work.

This is not always easy and you might have to make changes in your life to make this relationship work.

An age gap can be a profound thing and you may have to change your expectations of your twin flame.

These were all hard pills to swallow for me, given that I had this fairytale dream of what life with my twin flame would be like.

Accepting reality will make it much easier to deal with the age gap in the long run.

Go with your gut feeling

My biggest tip is to simply go with your gut.

Your intuition knows if you should be with your twin flame or not – listen to it!

If there is one thing I know, it’s this: there is no right or wrong decision here.

Whatever feels like the right decision for you, will be good.
