For context I'm 26 and she's 18, we met through church.
We were going over baby pictures and she showed me a picture of her when she was 10 and then said
>I can't believe you were 18 when I was this little
It made me feel so fucking weird. She said this on Saturday and I still haven't been able to shake it off.
Thats a big red flag in my book, shes literally guilt tripping you. Maybe she wants you to dump her because she doesnt want to seem like the bad guy? Or maybe shes a complete brainlet that doesnt think before she speaks? Either way its not looking good to me and clearly neither does to you.
IMO a woman needs to respect her partner and a man needs to feel respected for a healthy relationship to occur.
Today on "anons with extremely limited social experience think they can perfectly assume the thoughts and intentions of people they dont know based only on vague descriptions from other people they dont know."
Her most likely meaning (and I dont even know) was a literal plain conversation "isnt it weird that...?" Its always sinister and conniving with you stupid internet people
Yeah it would weird me out too. Then again I dont date women 3/4 my age. 18 - 25 is a bit of a gap, and maybe she just put it in perspective for you.
We've been dating for 6 months now though, if she had a problem with the age gap we wouldn't have dated to begin with.
She just made the comment without thinking anything bad about it but it made me realize that our age gap is a bit weird when you think about it in the context that she put it...
Not sure if I'm just being a little bitch.
you're just being a little bitch about it, there isn't even a decade between you guys. My mother was 37 and my father 54 when I was born, it's not weird to have age gaps under 10 years.
Seconded, 11 year gap here and my wife has always said this sort of thing to me. Work it and be proud of yourself OP, and never let your girl know what a weenie you are on the inside.
I feel like people making this argument are themselves like 20.. waitll youre 30 and find yourself in the company of 20 year olds and think "my god was I this fucking stupid?" 20 year olds are children who think theyre adults.
So
's gf is 9? Stfu. Feminist cognitive dissonance on full display.
Wait till you're 40 or 50 and women are still stupid fucking children. They're purpose is to bare children. It isn't necessary or reasonable to expect them to develop mentally past 25.
Sorry
>Feminist cognitive dissonance on full display
meant for
The brain is fully developed at 25. The difference between a 50 and 35 year old are immensely different from the difference between a 35 and 20 year old. These are totally different universes
True but irrelevant. The mental gulf between a fully formed man's brain and a fully formed woman's brain is a chasm. It's apples to oranges.
Look, the time tested formula is
>half your age + 7
(Applied to the man's age, of course.) So OP's close enough. Besides, he's just being a total sperg in the first place. He's about to spill that spaghetti all over the sweet young thing he lucked into.
>the time tested formula
You mean arbitrary thing people say for basically no reason?
>26
>18
>10
>18
Well she can't into maths that's for sure. Yeah you need to forget about it, OP. Definitely being a bitch. When you're 48 she'll be 40. Does that sound weird?
Bait?
Which part? But no.
The part where you can't count and you accuse others of it.
You're right. I done goofed.
I read it as
>you were 18 years older when I was 10
>maths
Being british doesn't help your case either
Stop being a fucking bitch lmao. It is weird but it doesnt matter.
Does her disbelief indicate concern with your arrangement or that she finds something harmlessly peculiar?
Your dating a child. You don’t like being a pedo, date someone your one age, simple as
How the fuck is she a child?
She's LITERALLY & LEGALLY an adult.
Stop infantilizing adults, it's weird af.
this doesn't sound like a red flag, just a dumb woman thing that women say everyday. why would anyone say that? who the fuck knows, she certainly doesn't
It's just an observation. I make fun of my dad for an 11 year age gap, too, but I don't literally think he's a pedo. Of course, He met my mom when she was 25.
This being said, if you're having sex outside of marriage (which you shouldn't especially since you met in church), you're doing something questionable. The relationship is unlikely to last, and if it ever breaks up, it's going to reflect poorly on you if you do anything that could be viewed as predatory/exploitative.
If it's perfectly legal, and all parties are growing and or happy, don't question it chico.
You're living the dream nagger, stop complaining about what billions of men wish for.
10 year age gap here too. Family gathering and we were just all casually talking and I said "tbh I always thought I'd have kids before I was 25 but it never happened"
Then wife jokes "that's cos I was still in primary school XD"
Based, opposite here. Wife is 5 years older than me, she was considered Christmas Cake back in Japan. Met me, clicked, both borderline Autistic and "weird."
Lol I'm 29 going on 30 soon and the girl I'm having a thing with just turned 20.
It's literally not a big deal. Just accept it
