#age-gap-relationships

my Dad's (58) new girlfriend (28) is only two years older than me (F26). I want him to be happy but I can't get over how creepy it is that she was in elementary school the same time I was, that she was still in diapers when he was changing mine. It's just weird. He has had other girlfriends since divorcing my mom, but they were all in their 40s and 50s and felt more age appropriate.

I started when I was 17, long before the term "sugar baby" or "rent boy" even existed. I was at university, and I had a scholarship for my education, but I had no housing or food. I was 3,000 miles away from my family in an unfamiliar city. I had no resources to lean on. I found myself really struggling.

We were actually evicted from our home due to noisy sex. We were getting complaints from the neighbours downstairs. At one point, the housing association office came to the door when we were having sex we call it our bang to rights moment. We try to be respectful and, obviously, we don't want to cause people alarm, but we're very noisy creatures. Now we've got the mattresses on the floor, so we've learned our lesson.

If you are a 38-year-old adult whose 17-year-old love interest is still at high school, you need to be sent straight into detention.

However, I think you'll benefit from considering why people judge older guys dating women in their early/mid-20s. There is a very well-documented pattern of that situation turning out... not so well.
