I just finished watching Age of Attraction and I’m pretty sure the moral of the show is that age gap relationships are unethical (that’s what reddit says)

I don’t remember asking for an ethical crisis for my birthday 🙄

What should I do?

    It’s ok you don’t actually have to do anything. Reddit has already told her to break up with you, file a police report, kill your pets, marry you just to divorce you, and then tell all your friends how horrible you are and that they should never talk to you again.

    I used to date a woman who’s a month older than me. She used to joke about robbing the cradle. Too bad I’m not as clever as the Futurama writers, or I would’ve insisted instead that I was robbing the grave.

      My partner is a week shy of being exactly 5 years older than me, I’m 35, she’s 40. Most of the time we’re basically the same person and that 5 year gap is basically nothing. We were both in pretty comparable stages in our lives when we got together ten years ago, there wasn’t an imbalanced power dynamic from her being older than me.

      But sometimes something comes up where that gap falls in just the right spot that something foundational to her childhood I was just too young for and for a brief second she cringes real hard and is just like “God dammit you’re just a baby!”

        I was occasionally on the other side of that and really hated it. I’m four years older than my ex, but also came from a more conservative (small c) town. Usually we were at the same stage of life but …… Sometimes that four years was a generation difference, which was very uncomfortable

          Yep that’s the thing. Most of the time the gap feels like nothing, others it feels like an entire generational difference and it hits her with massive psychic damage because for that moment I’m a little baby.

    All these other shit-for-brains got it wrong. Here’s what you do:

    1. Find a woman your own age, pervert
    2. Have her go through EXTENSIVE cosmetic surgery to become a replica of your current wife
    3. Have newbie secretly follow your wife until she learns every habit, nuance, and personality trait
    4. I’ll leave the uglier details of this step to your own imagination
    5. Pretend newbie has been your appropriately aged wife the whole time
    6. Send us some feet pics of those juicy things you’ve got tucked away in your socks (this step is optional)

    well there you fucking have it, you let this epstein stuff go unpunished and then you have people bragging about their age gap relationship with a 28 year old child
