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?
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
Yes, obviously.
You need to stop aging for a year so they can catch up
Can I just break up with her til Thursday?
Edit: that’s when she turns 29
Ah, I’m 4 months older than my girlfriend, I guess I need to stop aging for a bit as well.
That’s disgusting. Do you even realize that she wasn’t even born yet when you were 3 months old? Gross…
Ew at her age she could be your stepsister
Murder your partner, delete Facebook, go to the gym
Murder Facebook, send your partner to the gym, delete yourself
Seems legit
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.
All these other shit-for-brains got it wrong. Here’s what you do:
- Find a woman your own age, pervert
- Have her go through EXTENSIVE cosmetic surgery to become a replica of your current wife
- Have newbie secretly follow your wife until she learns every habit, nuance, and personality trait
- I’ll leave the uglier details of this step to your own imagination
- Pretend newbie has been your appropriately aged wife the whole time
- Send us some feet pics of those juicy things you’ve got tucked away in your socks (this step is optional)
- Document and submit work as application to partner with Nathan Fielder
Stop listening to other people and listen to your partner because really their opinion is the only one that matters.
If you’re both adults of your full mental facilities, than everyone else can stfu.
You filthy pedophile!
This whole age gap policing has gone waaaay too far.
Exploitation, abuse, induced dependency, these are all bad things. Abusers can go after people who are too old to think straight or too young to know better, but a moral panic about a 50 year old dating a 40 year old is ridiculous.
This is a high school mentality in the real world.
You can even have a child be the abuser. One community I’m in had a case of a 13 year old lying about their age and manipulating MULTIPLE older teenagers. People are just complex.
Some people never move beyond highschool. It is where they peaked and they either get a job that lets them return to working there, or they try to create the clicks and environment elsewhere.
A band once said highschool never ends. I think they were onto something.
Bowling For Soup either made it or covered it. Hard to tell with punk tbh
Lawyer up, delete Facebook, hit the gym
I’m so used to seeing the joke version of this that I was confused by the traditional version lol
Delete the gym, hit a lawyer, facebook up.
Delete book, gym up the lawyer, hit face.
DIVORCE
I really gotta start reading what community before I read the post.
Nah, better to get in the habit of checking the community after the wtf post as it is funnier that way.
My reply would have been the same regardless lol
Yeah man, you gotta break up. Track down the person who was born at the exact same time down to the planck time. It’s the only way to make it equal
But time is relative, so that person should also be someone you’re related to.
Your best option is to fake your death
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!”
A 5 year gap isn’t as bad as you get older. But when I was 23 I had an 18 year old girlfriend for a month before I ended things, because she still had the maturity level of a child and it made me feel really gross.
It only lasted so long because I also happened to be her first (this was before my big head overrode my little head). She was the first (and only) virgin I had been with so I didn’t know how to extract myself from the relationship without crushing her.
5 years later I met my wife who’s also 5 years younger, but our life experiences were way more similar.
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.
(that’s what reddit says)
If you’re looking to reddit for ethical advice, you’re already beyond help. Sorry.
