Nephew likes an 18 year old, and he is 26

[Anonymous]

She can really be the one for him you never know. I have a friend who was 18 when she met her husband, and he was 26. They married when she was 20, and are still married 17 years later. For all I know they seem happy.

I really don’t think you should be getting involved with this.

Your nephew should become a high earner and then marry this girl. Everything else will work out. Also do not understimate the power of good looks. If this girl is beyond beautiful, your nephew will not be happy with someone who is not that beautiful. He will always be hungup on her. If both are nice people, I see no harm. Let them be.

OP here. This sums it up. I agree.

If you agree that your nephew will always be hung up on her because of her looks and will never again be happy.....I can see why he can’t attract women his own age and needs to resort to immature 18 year olds.

I am waiting for the DCUM thread on whether it's OK for a 22 year old to date a 20 year old. We're getting there...

I met my now-husband when I was 19 and he was 27. We were friends, and FWB, and started dating seriously after reconnecting when I was in my late twenties. Perfect age gap as far as I’m concerned. Hope it works out for your nephew and his girlfriend!

I think it’s unsettling how you emphasize her looks so much. You and Your nephew shouldn’t be so stuck on her appearance. In marriage, looks fade.

In my culture it would be all good, esp if the guy is already established (nice job or business). Your nephew sounds like a late bloomer though with his gap years and graduate school...

Lots of things aren’t what they should be. Men care about your looks. That is a fact.

Mind your own business.

She’s an adult.
