Fritz Washabaugh

Growing up in a volatile household, Fritz found himself drawn to significantly older men from an early age, seeking the stability and connection often missing at home. That attraction led to relationships and encounters throughout his teens and twenties that, looking back, he recognizes sometimes placed him in vulnerable and potentially dangerous situations. As he matured, Fritz gained a deeper understanding of the complexities and power dynamics that can accompany intergenerational relationships. After moving to New York, he eventually found the stability he had been searching for with Bill, a man twice his age who became his husband. Together for more than a decade, Fritz reflects candidly on attraction, age differences, personal boundaries, and finding a healthy partnership.
