    The awkward part is the 20-year-old son (who lives with them) is playing video games in the background while they are filming this...

      The son seems very mature. He cares more about his dad being happy then controlling him.

    My husband and I have 21 years age difference, and we feel the same way! I’m an old soul and he’s a kid at heart. We’ve been together for 4 years now, and expecting both of our first child. I just want to say I love this, and keep spreading the word. I hate how negative people can be, and love changing people’s minds about age gaps!

    This is SO CRINGY for me (being a 24 yr old female)
    3/4 of her step kids are older than her...😖
    I feel bad saying it, but dang...I just can’t handle the idea of that 😆😆

    I have no problem with their relationship...what got me is they're trying to start a gofundme for their youtube channel? Umm youtube pays you? Why are you trying to get money from strangers it doesnt take much to start a channel...how much money did u spend making this video???...please dont ask people to financially support you for no reason.

    • @jasmyng5494
      @jasmyng5494 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Tawna Yrigoyen Ever heard of the "adpocalypse"? Somehow I doubt they are letting them monetize much of their content. TH-cam has almost no money gaining power through just adroll anymore. Educate yourself. To the channel I would suggest a patreon instead of gofundme. Alot of creators use Patreon.

    • @drabby7925
      @drabby7925 6 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Lol people will donate to what ever they want, it’s their money BUT I do agree. Why would they make a gofundme when there’s absolutely no proof that their content is good or that they’ll even continue to make content? Most people save up their money and buy their own shit.

  • @daphne10120
    @daphne10120 6 ปีที่แล้ว +126

    I think the only thing that would weird me out is if a woman was the same age as her husband's kids. I think that could be really difficult for the kids. If both are consenting adults then I really don't care.

      Sam I Am ... All my step kids are older than me... You know what they call me?... Mama... That's right... Age only defines a relationship if you allow it. 32 yrs difference between me and mine... And his kids are simply happy he is happy and loved. Why does that shock and repulse people... It truly is simple at the root of it.

    I wont lie, when I first starting watching this I was a bit taken back and grossed out,, yeah I judged and now I feel bad,,, I honestly can say you seem like a cute couple,, your personalities seem to match perfectly and you can see you do care for one another and not for the reasons we all think at first (he wants a young girl to feel younger, she wants a sugar daddy). I wish you both many years of happiness. You both are adults and the bottom line your business and glad you two seem extremely happy together

    When I first started this video I was skeptical about the whole relationship. Things that are different and taboo can make us feel weird, which is why people react badly. Watching this video, I definitely have a different view on marriage with age difference. Y’all seem like a healthy couple and I wish the best for you!

      I'm 52 and date women in thier 20's. It's not awkward at all. I do look a lot younger than my age so when we take pics together it dont look very weird. But. I love younger women cause they are so full of energy. Love life. Dont hate men. And just want to have a good time and not have all the bullshit involved. Women my age are negative and all about trends and being with thier girlfriends and worried what they think all the time. And by the time they got 40 to 50 they seem to really hate men. Lol. Give me a hot sexy 22 yr. Old anyday. BOOM.

  • @aliciaseptember
    @aliciaseptember 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I have a 6 year age difference with my huni. He’s younger. I even have a hard time with that due to maturity level and lack of life experience. I personally could never do this. I do feel bad for how his kids must feel. If I was them I would feel upset with my dad and just uncomfortable. To each their own, no hate meant. Just not for me.

  • @eleventhchakra9321
    @eleventhchakra9321 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm glad that you guys made this video! I remember reading about this a couple months ago and it's hard to gauge a relationship off of text - so it's great to be able to see your connection in person, or video lol. Honestly, this kind of relationship is not for everybody!! Obviously age gaps like this aren't super common, but they are still prevalent. And I think its awesome that you guys are helping show the world that it's okay to love someone regardless of societal norms. My last partner was 18 years older than me, it's an interesting dynamic! It doesn't feel weird to me at all because we just clicked intellectually; even though our life experiences were so different, and he's a part of a different generation than I am, we had more in common beyond that so it just worked! So, kudos to y'all for not giving a damn what people think. I feel like so many people are scared to love openly when it is perceived as "weird" by the masses, but honestly you guys are so in sync and you are just clearly so happy. I think you guys will help a lot of people and couples live more authentically by being so open :) F the haters!

To me there’s nothing gross about it. She’s of age, she’s an adult. There’s nothing wrong about it. I also love how she proposed to you. You guys are just breaking all the rules !!!!! Lol. 😂😂 I think you guys are awesome and I hope this works out for a very long time. 💜💜

  • @keithvowell9687
    @keithvowell9687 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for making this video! I promised myself to keep it short so I will try... yes there are aging concerns, but the growth of a soul is based on the experience of the body. Since I was extremely young I always believed love was ageless and I am so happy to see others living it out as well. I attract those in my twenties because that's where my energy in mentality are. After my 19 year abusive marriage, I have had relationships, that even though we didn't work out, we agreed that we could be married at one point.
    I take great care of my health and most assume I am 15 to 20 years younger than my actual age, but as most are understandingly concerned, eventually this soul-suit is going to wear out and my younger partner will watch as I phase from this existence. If she is willing to do that, then that is her call. Connecting on attributes is primary, but there are plenty who are amazing lives/souls who are attractive and want to enjoy existence with me. Thank you for following your hearts and dismissing all the fear-based criticisms I am probably going to receive as well. Be blessed.

    My husband and I are only 11 years apart and we struggle so much with our differences because he is long past my age group and he has already known, lost interest or doesn’t understand things I like. I think its great for you if you’re happy and you have it figured out.

    I’ll be 27 this year, my husband 45. We met when i was 20, he was 38. We did have a hard time at first with family and friends, also looking out for our best interest. He has 3 teenage sons. One is only 7 years younger than me so of course we get a lot of questions when we are all 6 together! (We do have a 2 year old boy together!) I’m glad this showed up in my suggested videos. I love knowing other people genuinely just love each other no matter age. I don’t know what went “viral” but I’m surprised none of my hilarious friends sent it to me 🤣 we are happily married for 3 1/2 years now. We forget about the age difference 99% of the time. It doesn’t have anything to do with our daily lives. It just is what it is. We are happy and i can definitely tell you two are as well! Also loved The Office reference! 💕

They've been together since before i was born so it's never been weird for me. They have a son together, they travel, cook together, go camping; they are perfect for each other. When i stay over, it always ends up my uncle and I staying up late talking about life and whatever over gin and tonics lol

    It's great to see you guys are so happy together :) I am also in an age-gap relationship. We were together for six years and then broke up but remained friends; I dated other people and it helped me appreciate how well he treated me and what a good person he is, and we got back together about a year ago, after four years of not being in a relationship together. Thank you for sharing your relationship and being willing to answer people's questions.

    My gf and I have a 22-year age gap and have been dating for three years. Honestly, we forget that the age discrepancy even exists, and have enough mutual friends that no one else thinks it's odd either. We share so many interests that it's just a perfectly natural fit.

      Geoff Trowbridge my parents were 22 years apart and stayed married for nearly 30 years. They've just recently divorced (for reasons that probably wouldn't apply to you, my dad has severe schizophrenia) but I wanted to say that I loved having a young mother and older father. It was such a blessing in my life. Much love and many blessings!

      Donia Ecker because she looks very young. i understand she’s in her mid twenties but she still looks like a young teenager, knowing that my child’s teacher was attracted to someone who looked so young would make me uncomfortable. men are not known to control themselves very well.

All the hateful comments are so freaking rude but you’re right, comment sections are just populated by trolls mostly so that’s good you just let it roll off your back.

    If you love each other, then what is the problem? I've asked so many people what is exactly "wrong" in an age-gap-relationship. No one can give a truly, logical and well-founded answer. Many say "he will get too older and she too young" and I say "Ok, but that is their problem and not yours". It doesn't hurt anyone, you're not breaking any law, there is absolute nothing wrong! I still don't understand why is people so against that.
    I wish you the best guys!

    I just stumbled upon this somehow it popped up in my feed. My husband and I have a 25 year age gap....and he is older than my father as well. I think most people have been supportive but we have had several stares, people trying to figure out the dynamics. He is absolutely the heat thing that has ever happened to me. I am happier now than I have ever been and it shows in my job and everyday life. I also had a lot of friends who jumped to gold digger, which again not the motivation here. We support each other and both work full time jobs. When I introduced him to my family my father didn’t get it and didn’t speak to me much didn’t even come around until the wedding when he saw us together and how happy we were. I think this channel is a great idea! Makes me wanna make a video lol.

    You’re married and you just said you’re not soulmates bc you don’t believe there is one person for you and that you take each day by day. just sounds like y’all are not serious about each other or see a future with each other or somethingggg. I am not married but I see a future with my bf and I think that’s what keeps the relationship alive (and if it’s God centered obvi) but you’re saying “hmmm idk. We don’t think about that. We don’t believe we are meant to be/soulmates” like WHAT lol. Makes no sense.

    • @maurakay1917

      Chicago -I love my fiancé more than anything but I don’t believe in soul mates either, I think I could live happy with multiple different people. I truly do, I think if my fiancé and I never met I would have been perfectly happy with someone else. I am very happy with our relationship, I wouldn’t trade him for anyone. But if I didn’t have him for some reason, I am sure I could find someone else.

    • @kristinenawrot8253
      @kristinenawrot8253 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Maura Sieber well I think that goes for everyone. If you go through a break up there’s no doubt you can find someone else. but this is my belief, that if you are with someone you care about and everything but don’t see as a soulmate, then that person isn’t bc what would make them stand out from the others if you could just leave at any moment and move on? The person who you’re meant to be will not make you think like that and you will be together for the rest of your lives bc it is meant to be. It’s not about what could be and “if I wasn’t with them I could happily live without them” that’s great but that isn’t the point. You’re with this person to either teach you a lesson or to build a future with, and if you can’t see a future with them what are you even doing.

    • @kristinenawrot8253
      @kristinenawrot8253 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Courtney Thornton from what I believe, the person I marry is my soulmate. I don’t think we just cross paths for nothing. I think we are guided by our souls each day, and they guide us to people as well and that, as I said earlier, is either to teach us a lesson or grow a future with. I believe my bf is my soulmate bc he came when it was least expected, and I feel that there is a reason for everything. I guess too each his own, it’s not that serious. It just doesn’t make sense to ME, but if it makes sense to you by all means live ya life lol.

    • @zwilinky
      @zwilinky 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Chicago “Soulmate” doesn’t mean they don’t care about if they last together. “Soulmate” means that there is only one person roaming around this earth out there for someone and somehow they found them. Some people don’t believe that. It doesn’t make logical sense that on a planet of 7.6 billion people that you are only capable of being in love with ONE of them.
      That’s why it’s called “commitment.” You find someone and you “commit” to them. Because sure, better people might come along, or other people might come along, but you’ve committed to this person. And I think that’s more powerful than the idea of a soul.

We ended up buying my daughter a ball and at checkout, this woman looked at him and said "I bet you're really good with your balls.." YES. SHE. SAID. THAT. Anyway, he answered that she'd have to ask me, his girlfriend. She turned Fire engine Red and left the line to "grab something she forgot!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Just as they mentioned, we never noticed the difference in age until it was pointed out. Even then, we just laughed about it. Keep being awesome you two!!!

You guys don't just look incredibly cute together, in my eyes you also seem like a perfect match. People tend to think that everything needs to be "normal". And normal means, it can't go further than their own horizon. "I couldn't do this, so nobody else can do this either". That's the mindset I can probably never get into my own head. But I'm not trying either tbh. You two know what's best for you. Haters gonna hate. Your response to it is just the best. Since this is Ep 1, I hope there's more to come!

  • @franciska-maria
    @franciska-maria 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm 23 yrs old now and I've been in relationships with men mostly over their 50s, even when I was...younger. They never knew how old I actually was, because I've always been very mature and when asked, I often refused to tell or simply lied about my age, which I'm not very proud of, but I had to because I thought they would change their minds about me if they would know how old I am, how old I was, which unfortunately was the case some times when they found out, they felt "guilty" for falling in love with me or they felt themselves "dirty".. They never had relationships wit younger girls before, so I know for a fact they were not "that type" of men as most people would assume. For me it just never felt right to be with people my age, they seemed too shallow and closed minded (not that older people can't be shallow, narrow minded, they can, of course, everyone can be regardless of age, and the truth is there are so many people like that especially nowadays) but the thing is, I always felt much more comfortable with older men; deep conversations are the most important things for me and I don't care about the looks or the age - having an open minded, conscious, mature, intelligent man by my side with a great wit and sense of humour is what I like.
    Now excuse me but f*ck people who say "daddy issues" and stuff like that, I've heard that so many times but look, if two intelligent, conscious human being falls in love with each other, if they both are aware of what they want and well aware of themselves and they can talk without manipulating one another any ways or forcing the other one or anything nasty like that, I think love is love, and if there's a deep connection, it's there, and if there's a mental and spiritual bond, it's there and you can't do anything about it other than accept it, embrace it, live it fully.
    I wish you all the best!

    I am the offspring of parents with a 39 year age gap. My Mum is 43 and my Dad was 82 (unfortuntely he passed away January of this year). Both my parents had been married for 24 years and were supposed to be celebrating ther 25th anniversary this year. They married because they loved each other! They got 2 children out of it (im almost 21 and my brother is 23). My dad was so so healthy and needed absolutely no care at all-- the idea of the younger partner being a carer isn't always the case, and wasn't in my parents relationship. The thing is, these relationships work! They are like all relationships-- highs and lows. It comes with its own set of unique challenges just like every relationship. And for the record, its not apporpriate for people to call this man a peadophile. He is NOT attracted to children-- this lady is a WOMAN. So before you jump to conclusions that this will NEVER work, please just actually listen to this couple. I wish you guys all the best x
