Not a dis to you but I would hope that my daughter never dated someone that much older than her. I would definitely have a talk with her if she did date someone that much older. I hope things go well with you but not sure how much this is not the norm for women in 20’s. |
Not all. I met my husband in college, dated while we were in grad school, married, and started having kids in our 30s, which is very typical. 20 years later, all the couples like us in our class are still married. I'm reading my alumni magazine's class announcements and it seems that this path continues up to this day. Don't forget that the vast majority of people in broken marriages are uneducated and/or unemployed. The divorce rate for people with advanced degrees is less than 13%, and this figure is not even broken down by race. I think divorces in Asian households with advanced degrees are not significant enough to even create a sample size. I don't have girls but I'm raising my boys to be respectful of women, hardworking, successful, and pull their weight in their future household. If you want to avoid the tools, look at their family dynamics. Even when I was young and stupid, I knew to avoid dating guys with family drama and crazy moms. |
You are not kidding. The poster should be in therapy to figure out his issues. The APs will end up in therapy because in hindsight they will realize the age/power dynamic is such that these “relationships” don’t involve the kind of “consent“ anyone should be comfortable with. Curious how the guy who posted this would feel about his daughter doing the same thing. Gross. |

+1. I myself was in a “relationship" like this. I didn’t have daddy issues and was very attractive, but extremely messed up in the head. |
I'm sure it's not the norm. We do treat each other well and with respect. In my first two years after divorce I dated from 31 to 37 (my age at the time) and don't see any difference in how I interacted with those women than with my current partner other than that we have grown closer/more supportive over time. |
Life can be funny sometimes. My FIL had lots of affairs and my MIL left him. My SIL has self esteem issues, was in several messy relationships and the mistress of a married guy. My FIL suffered a lot when his little precious girl was treated like this. She ended up marring a loser who left her and now my FIL supports her kids too. |
It’s not about you, it’s about her and her thought process on this. |
It's too bad because the daughter probably suffered because of all the cheating. Kids always find out at some point in their life from the other spouse, relative, sibling or from their own observation. My fil did the same, but then when he got old his wife was long done with him. The hores were long gone, and he was very much alone. The mil catered to her kids and grand-kids. He ended up sick and depressed. |
4th data point. That woman had 50 lbs and a decade on me. But she gave him tons of attention and made him feel like he was the sexiest, smartest, most amazing man on earth. At home he had to compete with our toddler and baby for attention. |

My twice divorced, 70 year old family friend is incredibly rich and sleeps with ugly women in their 30s.

LOL. Soo fun and funny! YOU'RE not the kind of person I want to hang out with |
Why keep a idiot around like that who is so insecure he has to cheat. I bet he was jealous of the dog as well! |
| Thank you to all those fathers who created all those daddy issues. |
Donald Trump? |
