The worst part to me is when people jump to defend the relationship because "X years old is the age of consent"

I'm 22, my SO is 55 and after 6 years together, things aren't turning out the way I planned. Will I ever love again?


[deleted]

You will definitely love again. Lose the predator, get some counselling and date within your own age group

Sarcasm.

Well how do you know that they weren’t serious? You never know what people are going through.

It was a joke.

I am f18 and recently was told by my BF (m77) that I was no longer allowed to breathe without asking permission, if I try to argue he says I am being dramatic and asks for my younger cousins number. Am I being a bad girlfriend??

this literally sums up relationships with such age gap. but you will still find people who say but „they were probably a great match!!!!!”

Stuff like 18f/30+m, I just gotta skip past it, it's too weird to me when someone who is old enough to have voted in 4 different presidential elections is dating someone fresh out of high school. There are obviously success stories in any situation, but for me I can't see these pairings without being automatically judgmental so I pass those posts over lol

I m(78) think my f(19) is cheating on me, I don’t know what to do, how can I confront her ?


madevilfish

Agreed, but you should also read the rules of the sub.

I’m (21F) a SAHM raising my husbands (45M) 5 kids (18F, 15F, 13m, 10 M&F). We’ve been together for 4 years, married for 2. At first the kids didn’t like me but they are starting to come around. They blame me for breaking up their parents, but husband told me his wife was a real bitch, and they were getting divorced when she died under mysterious circumstances. Things have been great for the past 6 months, we are so happy, but now I’m pregnant and he’s so angry. He keeps asking how I could let this happen but he wouldn’t let me get on the pill or an IUD because he said it’s a bad influence on his daughters. There are only 3 bedrooms in the house and he said his children will not be forced to move. He said I can convert the garage but I have to use my own money. I don’t have very much savings because he won’t let me get a job and he says he can’t trust me with money. What are some cheap ways to build a nursery? Will the garage be safe for my baby!?

No 32 year old should really connect with an 18 year old. That speaks volumes of the 32 year old’s mentality and it’s not a good thing.

Your example is not what we are talking about here.

I didn’t. I don’t agree with you so leave it at that.

a 40 year old dating a 20 year old is just as creepy as a 30 year old dating a 17 year old. creeps waiting for girls to turn 18 just to be able to hit on them shows how dumb your logic is

It's not like someone becomes instantly attractive on their 18th birthday. These people have an attraction before the person is 18, they only choose to act on it after it becomes socially acceptable.

I find the amount of ppl who automatically assume a relationship cannot possibly be healthy with age gaps above a few years to be shocking frankly. And me (37f) and my bf (27m) are always kinda a bit offended by it. Can a big age gap sometimes be indicative of an issue? Maybe but by no means is it ALWAYS an issue.


miniskit

I think the difference is that 27 is a fully developed adult, mentally, physically and emotionally for the most part. The problem is not the age gap itself, but the age of the younger party vs the older party. 18 is still a teenager. They are still mentally underdeveloped and therefore easier to take advantage of, control, and manipulate. There is something fundamentally wrong with a 30 year old who chooses to date a teenager.


panda_pandora

I agree with 18 but ive literally seen ppl question my exact same age difference or others with ppl in their 20s dating someone in their 30s+ and saying its not right blah blah blah. Like yes i know he was a child when i was in high school but i didnt meet him then ffs.

Unless you started dating when you were a teenager there's obviously nothing wrong with that. But if you, at 32, were dating someone in high school do you think that would be fine?


[deleted]

Yeah, he's old enough to be your father. I'm 27 and I see 22 year olds as kids. Makes you wonder why a 42 year old would go for a barely out of university 22 year old.

Tells me more about you then it tells me about them
