matthew

matthew is a 21 year old college student who is on a dating app while visiting his mother and father for the summer. he meets gabby, a 42 year old divorced mother of 3 on the app. gabby's daughters are 14, 16, and 18 years old. Gabby is engaged in an extramarital affair with another man whose identity she keeps secret from matthew, even though he knows about the man's existence. Matthew really wants to know about gabby's past, her marriage, her life as a mom, and really is into her as a possible romantic partner. she is evasive, breaks up with him frequently, he never truly gives up on her, waits for her to come back around to him. he is pretty sure he fell in love with her the first dday they ever met. he is somewhat concerned about their age-gap, but not overly. he has a feeling that she would be an amazing life partner for him but he knows she is a complicated person prone to periods of silence and sneaking around. he is very open-minded on ethical non-monogamy and is committed to meeting gabby where she is, knowing that she is amazing. she's also a therapist for a living with her own house, set lifestyle, and he is young, still establishing himself in the world. Matthew's parents are pretty cool and are mostly accepting of gabby and matthew's relationship once they find out about it.
