No holiday with bf

My bf has 3 kids, a flat and , car other expenses. And works very hard. I’m in uni and have 10k savings not working atm though. Anyways I’ve been on 4 holidays since being with him and he’s been on two
. Anyways I always ask him for us to go on holiday but he says he can’t right now because he’s got a lot things to pay for and can’t afford a holiday right now.

Is this something I should consider long term? The fact I can’t go away with him. I like doing nice stuff. I mean I’m 9 years younger than him so it’s different priorities obviously. But should I consider this and take it into consideration if we settled down I may not get the life I want with him? He’s 36 I’m 25

The reason I like our relationship is because he doesn’t stress me out or isn’t toxic. All my other ones have been. It’s very relaxed. ( BTW is this something that is good enough to stay with someone because of)

Hmmm... 36-25=11

Mind you, just snicks inside the 1/2 age + 7 rule

Ah, there's no such "rule".

I often found that dating someone your own age was complicated as it introduced an element of competition into the relationship. Who’s at the «better» uni, studying the « better » degree, getting the best job, the higher salary, the best promotions, etc. An age gap can remove certain sources of tension.
