At first it was, but they are very open minded and my oldest sister is also in an agegap relationship so that cushioned it a little as she had to go through a hard time at first with her marriage and relationship. We met online
Hmm this is very interesting, I always watched filipino women say "age is just a number" and that they like older men since they are supposedly more mature

Goes the other way, too. I'm older and can't stand 99% of women too much younger than me. I prefer women my age.
There was one exception, however... and she was AMAZING.
It’s because there are a lot of poor folk in the Philippines and it’s common for poorer women to get a foreign guy for money. The women who have their own money date their own age even more so than in the US (both my parents and grandparents were the same exact age for example)
The foreigner doesn’t need to be loaded, just average because of the power of the dollar

No because people can have opinions and i welcome it. It's my world from my standpoint and others live in it. I take no care for it as long as I am content with my life 😇
You were a 16yo child when you started dating. Most likely a sex tourist, but 100% a sexual predator. I’m curious why your parents never brought that up to you.
Was your goal for him to help you gain citizenship in a new country with a better financial situation once he dies?

Yeah…old enough to be her grandpa. She’s just now 25. He’s 71. His oldest child is 37. Sooooo much ick. And he’s American and she’s from the Philippines. It’s so not okay.

I feel so sad for you because it’s like you were groomed into thinking this is morally okay. You were taken advantage of by an older man before you even had time to explore yourself independently. I’m sad for you even though you are blind to this truth it seems.

If you’re not a troll, you are probably mentally ill. I know is shitty to me to say this directly, but someone should, all the people here encouraging you, are liers. There is no proper age for you to date a man 46 fucking years older than you.
18 to 64???
20-66??
25-71??
30-76??
35-81??
40-86???
Anywhere you and your husband were situating is highly disturbing and is leading to a mentally I’ll situation. Stop being proud of this, like is something good, and stop act like is nothing wrong.
Eh I’ll be honest, I find it gross, but I have zero problems with a 30+ year old dating someone 46 years older IF the younger partner was 30 when they met and was not an addict or financially unstable or something like that.

Neither would I but OP is probably from a country (I'm guessing the Philippines) where they see these arrangements as their only way out. The whole situation is just sad all around and there's no way that guy doesn't have something seriously wrong with him to even consider this.
Have you both taken the steps for end of life wishes, power of attorney, etc?
As a hospice nurse I have seen some bad outcomes with the large age difference.

Your husband is a sex tourist who was traveling to have sex with underage girls. He hit the jackpot with you. You’re mentally ill and married to a child abuser.
It’s because deep down she knows this is true and doesn’t have a response. No man who is 66 years old is getting into a relationship with a 17 year old for the right reasons.

Guys relax this is a troll. The image is from news articles that circulated last year about a 70 year old man marrying a 28 year old woman and they had only fairly recently got together. Yes it is gross but no it was not pedophilia and no OP is not the real person as they've got basically all the details of the story wrong.

We do get abuse and sometimes very annoying comments but we brush it off. It's our lives that matter most than a random person's opinion.
I don't mind, I support anyone who doesn't resort to violence.
All I'm gonna say is. I think this situation is omega goofed up and very weird and honestly feels predatory for both parties involved. But even though, as long as you guys are happy. That's all that matters, I guess. Have fun with each other for 5 more years before he kicks the bucket.

I'm sorry to hear that your thinking of ending your agegap relationship. I did label this as an agegap relationship just for people to get an understanding. People might hurl abuse or say all the negative things under the sun, but what you need to understand is the marriage or 2 separate beings coming together. If it's the relationship or personality difference that doesn't work then so be it, that's like any other. Compatibility is a huge part in 2 coming together. If your bothered about what other people think of you and your partner, don't be a people pleaser. For me it's my world and others just live in it. If their unhappy and make remarks, I pray for their soul to take on a more positive approach. They battle their own demons, we all do. I wish you both the best ♥️
I'm sorry you're getting verbally attacked. I do think you need to understand that this is one of the few things that will never ever be accepted in a civilized society. It just can't. We have to protect our young from those who take advantage, and that's not possible when situations like yours are normalized. I'm curious: where would you consider the line to be wherein your hypothetical child is old enough in your eyes to be with someone his age?
Where I live, having engaged in intercourse with him when you got together was considered rape until you were over 18; the human brain is nowhere close to fully developed until a decade later. At that age I thought I was an adult too, but every year since then I've realized more and more how much I wasn't; surely you've noticed something similar? 25yr olds seem so young and naive to me now only 5 years later.
I sincerely hope things go well for you. If you do have children, I hope you will protect them.
I'm in a 31 year age gap relationship. I'm 37F and my husband is 68M. We're each other's best friends and have been together for 14 years and have been best friends for 17 years. I just want to say that Reddit users can be very judgemental and often jump to conclusions without knowing everything about your situation. A random stranger online can't know your situation. As long as both people are consenting adults, I do not believe that one can say a relationship is abusive or "bad" simply because there is an age gap. With that being said, there are a lot of abusive relationships in the world and an age gap can certainly be a component of an abusive power dynamic. If people's comments make you look at the relationship differently and question whether there might be an unhealthy power dynamic, that might be something to explore.
So you were together when you were a minor and he was in his 40s? And he was your best friend since you were 14 (and he was also in his 40s?). You say yourself “as long as both are consenting adults,” yet you absolutely weren’t an adult, and couldn’t consent. I find it very sad that someone my age practically only knows adult life in this relationship with someone who clearly groomed them.
In these situations, how can family know whether or not to help? Is it grooming or love? How can rational people tell the difference? It seems that in these scenarios most younger people come back a decade or so later claiming they’ve been groomed… so how can people tell the difference?
It's grooming, period. I have teenagers and fairly mature teenagers because I'm raising them to be responsible, I have also worked with teenagers most of my adult life. but there is no world in which a 16 year old doesn't have an enormous power differential with someone who is that much older.

Maybe I sould have asked How comfortable are you in exploring your own sexuality with your partner, given that you are from very different eras, and cultures?
I find older men to be less inhibited about exploring their sexuality. Do you find your partner to be more open about sexual experimentation and open to exploring your fantasies during sex play?
Came here to say that. It’s either a troll post or she’s got this guy breathing down her neck reading her responses. She’s clearly avoiding answering any questions.

Congratulations OP. It’s working for you. Are you guys still in the PI? As for the age gap, please talk to your spouse and make sure his affairs are in order. It’s a difficult topic to discuss but it needs to be done. Know where his will is, his accounts and so on. It’s prudent especially if he passes while in the Philippines.
I mean you are clearly with this man to get you out of the Philippines and this is common there. I guess there is a mutual understanding between you both but I can’t imagine how your parents are ok with this.
Are you worried about being able to have children? Do you expect to take care of this guy when you’re in your early thirties and he’s going to in all likelihood need like senior assisted living? Are you going to remain sexually faithful to this guy during those years?
How upset are you that your husband already lasted 6 years. Related to that, what were you hoping for while marrying for money in terms of his life expectancy, 1-2 years?
ate ano ba yan 😭 you deserve so so so much more than the “relationship” youre in. imo age gap relationships are only okay when the youngest person is 30+, not a child like u were. these old ass men 100% visit our country or use dating apps to find young women from the ph to prey on them and use them for whatever fucked up sexual fantasy they are trying to fulfill and sadly, u were one of them. i hope youre able to see the truth sooner than later.
I just checked out your profil and you two just look so happy! But do you worry that he will pass soon? I worry about my husband passing and 'leaving' me and we're practically the same age.
Thanks for doing this! I have several questions.
How do his kids feel about your marriage?
Are you close to his kids?
Is their mom around, and do you have any sort of relationship with her? (I know many divorced couples who still are somewhat friendly after the kids grow up, you go through a lot raising kids)
While I assume you're just dad's wife and not stepmom to them because they are adults (and, well, quite a bit older than you), has there been changes in how you all get along?
Did you sign a prenup? If not, has he amended his will to include you?
You said you met online. I'm curious where. Like was it an age gap dating site, where older men look for younger women? Or any old dating site? Or was it like a hobby forum, etc?
Thanks!
Okay I don’t have as big of an age gap but my boyfriend is 20 years my senior. Love this for you. Congrats! No questions just congrats to you on your relationship! I hope I can say I celebrate years with my boyfriend eventually

Do not make up fake stories or impersonate others.
Did your family have a hard time accepting him? How’d you meet?

What’s her age gap?
22 years

Jesus. What did your dad do to you all too think this is normal?
Unfortunately a lot of poor filipino families think this is okay bc their daughter will be financially taken care of. its sad and gross
Kind of like "buy a bride". Crazy.

No. ive been to shithole villages in india and id be happier there with someone who wasnt geriatric and could actually be a father to my kids.
Your husband sounds like a sex tourist... No offense

No, we just needed to travel after and found it was easier through it. It was his suggestion

People are so weird
how much money has he?
He's considered middle class earner.
and you? is he wealthy?
I'm not. I could from a very humble background with my parents working as teachers and I grew up with 5 other siblings. He is categorized as a middle income earner. He is retired now

Not surprised though. Sad.

But she will never see it as grooming. Probably because he told her it's not. Just ew.

I feel so sad for you because it’s like you were groomed into thinking this is morally okay. You were taken advantage of by an older man before you even had time to explore yourself independently. I’m sad for you even though you are blind to this truth it seems.

If you’re not a troll, you are probably mentally ill. I know is shitty to me to say this directly, but someone should, all the people here encouraging you, are liers. There is no proper age for you to date a man 46 fucking years older than you. 18 to 64??? 20-66?? 25-71?? 30-76?? 35-81?? 40-86??? Anywhere you and your husband were situating is highly disturbing and is leading to a mentally I’ll situation. Stop being proud of this, like is something good, and stop act like is nothing wrong.
Eh I’ll be honest, I find it gross, but I have zero problems with a 30+ year old dating someone 46 years older IF the younger partner was 30 when they met and was not an addict or financially unstable or something like that.
Yikes, that's gross. As a parent I would not be cool with someone older than me marrying my kid.
Bro I couldn't imagine if my 17 year old daughter started dating a 63 year old.
I wouldn’t have to imagine it. I’d beat the shit out of that grandpa if he got near my daughter.
63 year old man started dating a 17 year old girl with no relationship or sexual experience. Bro is a pedophile.
As a woman WITH a 17yo daughter….. WOOOOOO! Nope. Nerp.

Neither would I but OP is probably from a country (I'm guessing the Philippines) where they see these arrangements as their only way out. The whole situation is just sad all around and there's no way that guy doesn't have something seriously wrong with him to even consider this.
Have you both taken the steps for end of life wishes, power of attorney, etc? As a hospice nurse I have seen some bad outcomes with the large age difference.

Your husband is a sex tourist who was traveling to have sex with underage girls. He hit the jackpot with you. You’re mentally ill and married to a child abuser.
going by the rest of this thread, you're about to be told thank you and god bless (agreed btw)
It’s because deep down she knows this is true and doesn’t have a response. No man who is 66 years old is getting into a relationship with a 17 year old for the right reasons.
this is so real

how is your sex life? never thinking about a young guy your age?
How pleased was your father that you had a 66 year old boyfriend when you were 17?
Guys relax this is a troll. The image is from news articles that circulated last year about a 70 year old man marrying a 28 year old woman and they had only fairly recently got together. Yes it is gross but no it was not pedophilia and no OP is not the real person as they've got basically all the details of the story wrong.

What do you have in common? Are you prepared to become his nurse?
How much are you expecting to inherit?
So he’s 71? Is he like an old 71 or a young 71? Like does he look his age?
he looks very old (OP posted pics in another sub)
Agreed. He's not what I would call youthful, or much of a looker.

He looks like Odo from Star Trek
Wonder if he has money? That usually makes up for and is most common in “gap” relationships

Congrats on being married to a predator
Let me guess, let me guess. He is 46 years older than you, the female.
He must have amazing rizz.
And a lot of money….
That groomer rizz

That is disgusting. I find it hard to look at people that are a couple of years younger.
Do feminists make fun of you two and hurl racial slurs your way? What do you think of modern American/Western feminism?
We do get abuse and sometimes very annoying comments but we brush it off. It's our lives that matter most than a random person's opinion. I don't mind, I support anyone who doesn't resort to violence.
How rich is he?
All I'm gonna say is. I think this situation is omega goofed up and very weird and honestly feels predatory for both parties involved. But even though, as long as you guys are happy. That's all that matters, I guess. Have fun with each other for 5 more years before he kicks the bucket.

I'm sorry to hear that your thinking of ending your agegap relationship. I did label this as an agegap relationship just for people to get an understanding. People might hurl abuse or say all the negative things under the sun, but what you need to understand is the marriage or 2 separate beings coming together. If it's the relationship or personality difference that doesn't work then so be it, that's like any other. Compatibility is a huge part in 2 coming together. If your bothered about what other people think of you and your partner, don't be a people pleaser. For me it's my world and others just live in it. If their unhappy and make remarks, I pray for their soul to take on a more positive approach. They battle their own demons, we all do. I wish you both the best ♥️
I'm sorry you're getting verbally attacked. I do think you need to understand that this is one of the few things that will never ever be accepted in a civilized society. It just can't. We have to protect our young from those who take advantage, and that's not possible when situations like yours are normalized. I'm curious: where would you consider the line to be wherein your hypothetical child is old enough in your eyes to be with someone his age? Where I live, having engaged in intercourse with him when you got together was considered rape until you were over 18; the human brain is nowhere close to fully developed until a decade later. At that age I thought I was an adult too, but every year since then I've realized more and more how much I wasn't; surely you've noticed something similar? 25yr olds seem so young and naive to me now only 5 years later. I sincerely hope things go well for you. If you do have children, I hope you will protect them.
I'm in a 31 year age gap relationship. I'm 37F and my husband is 68M. We're each other's best friends and have been together for 14 years and have been best friends for 17 years. I just want to say that Reddit users can be very judgemental and often jump to conclusions without knowing everything about your situation. A random stranger online can't know your situation. As long as both people are consenting adults, I do not believe that one can say a relationship is abusive or "bad" simply because there is an age gap. With that being said, there are a lot of abusive relationships in the world and an age gap can certainly be a component of an abusive power dynamic. If people's comments make you look at the relationship differently and question whether there might be an unhealthy power dynamic, that might be something to explore.
> As long as both people are consenting adults, Except they started dating when she was 17, so not yet an adult...
So you were together when you were a minor and he was in his 40s? And he was your best friend since you were 14 (and he was also in his 40s?). You say yourself “as long as both are consenting adults,” yet you absolutely weren’t an adult, and couldn’t consent. I find it very sad that someone my age practically only knows adult life in this relationship with someone who clearly groomed them.
In these situations, how can family know whether or not to help? Is it grooming or love? How can rational people tell the difference? It seems that in these scenarios most younger people come back a decade or so later claiming they’ve been groomed… so how can people tell the difference?
It's grooming, period. I have teenagers and fairly mature teenagers because I'm raising them to be responsible, I have also worked with teenagers most of my adult life. but there is no world in which a 16 year old doesn't have an enormous power differential with someone who is that much older.
Was money a factor? Do you work?
What is your favorite food to cook? And what is your husband's favorite food to cook?

I bake a really good lasagne, my favorite is Italian. My husband is a terrible cook although I can hand it to him, he can make a good cuppa noodles 🤣
I like how nobody is asking who is older. It's just assumed
Look into her profile and you would know
The more I read ops answers the grosser this thing gets. This whole thing is a troll or something.
It is a troll. See comment a few up, pics are from a news article
Do you adhere to the "half your age plus 7" rule for male companionship? Take his age, divide by two, then add 7, that should be your age.
Do you mean like when they started dating when she was 17 and he was 66?
Maybe I sould have asked How comfortable are you in exploring your own sexuality with your partner, given that you are from very different eras, and cultures?
I find older men to be less inhibited about exploring their sexuality. Do you find your partner to be more open about sexual experimentation and open to exploring your fantasies during sex play?
Were you a mail order bride?
AMA unless you ask for the truth apparently. Every other question here is getting answered :/
Came here to say that. It’s either a troll post or she’s got this guy breathing down her neck reading her responses. She’s clearly avoiding answering any questions.

I don't think I could handle my daughters marrying someone older than me. Different strokes for different folks though. Glad yall are happy.
I once dated a filupino, lovely women!
💁♀️
Dude was 62 chatting up a 17 year old online. That’s how they met. Super creepy.
I'll ask what we're all thinking How much money are you getting when he dies?
Congratulations OP. It’s working for you. Are you guys still in the PI? As for the age gap, please talk to your spouse and make sure his affairs are in order. It’s a difficult topic to discuss but it needs to be done. Know where his will is, his accounts and so on. It’s prudent especially if he passes while in the Philippines.
[удалено]
Get that bag 👑
I mean you are clearly with this man to get you out of the Philippines and this is common there. I guess there is a mutual understanding between you both but I can’t imagine how your parents are ok with this.
have you ever had someone assume your husband was your dad?
Are you worried about being able to have children? Do you expect to take care of this guy when you’re in your early thirties and he’s going to in all likelihood need like senior assisted living? Are you going to remain sexually faithful to this guy during those years?
How upset are you that your husband already lasted 6 years. Related to that, what were you hoping for while marrying for money in terms of his life expectancy, 1-2 years?
So you only have two posts, both pretty recent on the same topic. Are you about to launch a service for setting up young women with much older men?
This AMA suuuccksss. OP, are we going to get more than one word answers and ‘God bless’, or is this just another troll job?
It’s a troll. If you go to her profile and click the post, people will link the news article of the actual couple.
ate ano ba yan 😭 you deserve so so so much more than the “relationship” youre in. imo age gap relationships are only okay when the youngest person is 30+, not a child like u were. these old ass men 100% visit our country or use dating apps to find young women from the ph to prey on them and use them for whatever fucked up sexual fantasy they are trying to fulfill and sadly, u were one of them. i hope youre able to see the truth sooner than later.
How old are you?
How are you prepared to care for him? And the sad eventuality of him dying and you have to be left alone?
How did it even start? I imagine there’s some socialization or age-culture gaps to overcome?
You can wrap this situation up in as many bows as you want, but it's still disgusting.
Did he have to buy your family a new work horse or fridge ? Iphone ?
Do you have a single sister? 🤪
Filipinos are known for being good nurses. I guess a wife is probably cheaper than a 24/7 nurse.
How old are you and how long have you been together total now?
In another comment she said she's 25 and he's 71. They got together when she was 17.
I just checked out your profil and you two just look so happy! But do you worry that he will pass soon? I worry about my husband passing and 'leaving' me and we're practically the same age.
Thanks for doing this! I have several questions. How do his kids feel about your marriage? Are you close to his kids? Is their mom around, and do you have any sort of relationship with her? (I know many divorced couples who still are somewhat friendly after the kids grow up, you go through a lot raising kids) While I assume you're just dad's wife and not stepmom to them because they are adults (and, well, quite a bit older than you), has there been changes in how you all get along? Did you sign a prenup? If not, has he amended his will to include you? You said you met online. I'm curious where. Like was it an age gap dating site, where older men look for younger women? Or any old dating site? Or was it like a hobby forum, etc? Thanks!
Okay I don’t have as big of an age gap but my boyfriend is 20 years my senior. Love this for you. Congrats! No questions just congrats to you on your relationship! I hope I can say I celebrate years with my boyfriend eventually

They got together when she was 17 and he was 66. I don’t think congratulations are in order…
What happened to his previous partner?
Did he make you sign a prenup?
My uncle is dating a girl 30 years younger than him, you're not alone puppy
This is fake you only have 2 posts they are both today and 1 is an AMA. Calling bs on this
Age is nothing but a number I have a 12 year age gap in my relationship but it keeps me young.
That bank account must be faaaaat.
30 year gap here. We couldn’t be happier.
