"I'm worried that you're immature" says the middle-aged man who chose to date a 20yo. BTW, if she's getting a degree she's clearly got plans for her future. 🙄
My parents have an age gap and are the 1:01 outlier. My mother was only 20 when they married. What made it work is that she had been on her own, working, for a long time. My dad spent pretty much all of their age gap at university getting a PhD, so in terms of leaving school and living in the real world they were equal. Mom is whip-smart and Dad respects her. What the vast majority of age gap relationships have that makes them messed up is a lack of respect from the older partner to the younger. The older partner is looking for someone they can mold into the perfect wifey, or they get off on how impressed broke 20yos are when someone has money to throw around, or the older partner claims to be youthful! Spontaneous! Fun! When they are actually just irresponsible.
To be fair, I’m 46 and so a great deal of work on my phone from my bed. Dude isn’t too old to get it, he just wants to guilt her into doing more stuff for him.
I'm autistic. There are ways to communicate about lines. But it's fine if you're not compatible. If his lines and your lines don't work, they don't work.
Pokemon Horroscope is real tho, you can really learn A LOT of a person from their favorite pokemon even if they dont like pokemon the fact they remember a design other than pikachu is enough even if there too much alpha male charizard fans out there
When meters date feet ...

Spot on description of how this situation usually plays out.

As a 42 year old I came here to say the same thing
There's so much obvious bait or AI stories on that subreddit it's insane. They've gotta just implement an account age requirement for that nonsense.
Right? At this point, if there is no video proof, I don't believe it.
