It illustrates no such thing.

It is certainly not just women of certain age who have criticised big age gaps, but you have chosen to only call out those women and in doing so have done the very thing you are accusing them of.

However you dress it up, your posts are very much pushing the line which you are asking others not to cross.

This is one of those glorious threads that didn't go the way it was expected to!

Once you get past the suspension of disbelief on this thread, you're left cringing, laughing, and full of pity all at the same time.

If you don't want people offering opinions on your relationship, then for Gods sake stop talking about it in exquisite detail if you don't expect it to be treated like a poorly written soap opera. The transparently pettifogging accusation that women are jealous over this creepy situation isn't resulting in any more respect for it.

I'm just off to swim in the sea, moderately happily.

End scene.

Indeed, agree 100%

Why the repeated need to bring up the age and gender of people - specifically and only women in their '30s, who comment less than positively on what you've told the thread about your relationship? ..............

Agree with this too.

I'm 36 and not too old but even on POF/Tinder etc I'd have the minimum age setting to like 28/30.

Suggesting it's 30 odd year old spinsters who reckon a 40 year old falling for an 18 year old is weird is LOL material tbh.

I need more popcorn ........

Badly written soap opera , in my opinion.

And back to the O.P - sometimes they do, sometimes they dont.
depends on the people involved, and it shouldnt be anyone elses business (unless either one is below age of consent)

Delusion is a universal component in every relationship. Everyone has it, in some shape or form, and it allows for successful relationships. Some, however, are more deluded than others.

That's just my experience.

So let me get this straight. You and your ex used to mind a 17year old's baby together as a couple but now that same baby is pretty much your baby cos you got with the aforementioned teenager? That's not weird at all.

Don't mistake this for bitterness.

Well.... yeah there is more than the sniff of the old "trophy wife" going on alright. Though this kinda thing can be an American "look how well we're living the American dream" vibe. I've noted it before with Americans and emigres to there, particularly with the ambitious.

There's an eye-wateringly paternalistic "I'm in America and America knows best" tone off pretty much all of that poster's threads. It's incredibly tiresome and utterly tone-deaf.

I would take you swimming, but you aren't young enough. :pac:

Permabear do you ever worry you've become a de facto father to her given the issues with her parents?

You need to have a particularly narrow kind of tunnel vision to overlook all that's wrong in the USA today. Much as I love Americans, it's becoming an even more repugnantly divided society at breakneck speed.

Huh...Wibbs is saying pretty much exactly the same as myself and others. I guess that's ok though since he's not a "30-something year old woman"

The Moldy Gowl · 26-07-2017 04:24PM

So if she isnt even hot enough to be a trophy wife?
This is a let down.

Rewrite that part of the novel and make her hot at least.

Can't get over how cool Pbears OH is. Swims in the ocean, goes to hackathons cos she's a nerdy gamergirl and plays live music at the coffee shop. So cool!

What's this about?
The guy likes and talks positively of his partner and mother of his kids. It's a good thing. The cynicism is mad ted.

I actually do want to go for a swim (with my old dad, not splashing happily in the waves like a carefree siren while my Mr Darcy waves from the porch), but I just can't tear myself away.

At this stage I'm sensing an element of narcissism.
