I met Dh when I was 22 and he was 26. There was absolutely nothing weird about this. Together 24 years now. Great friendship and partnership.

I call troll - Otherwise OP is one misogynistic piece of shit talking about 23 year old women being more like 14 year olds, unable to make their own choices and being a victim because they are dating a man only a few years older than them...

Where did I imply that I hate women? On the contrary, I feel that I, as a man, have a duty to protect the women in my life.

By the time I was 29, 23 already seemed very juvenile to me, and I wouldn't have even dared to considered dating someone so young.

Now, I already know what you're going to say; that most women his age are already married, so he has no choice but to date substantially younger women. To that I just have to say that that's kind of his own fault. If getting married was so important to him, he should've started looking for potential spouses in his early 20s. That said, single women his age do exist, and he can find them using online dating apps.

First your daughter is an adult and it's none of your business. Second why don't you tell your daughter to back off? I predict if they marry they'll cut off contact with uou right away.

That would be completely unfair of me. She's too young to realize how inappropriate this relationship is. Her growna** boyfriend, on the other hand, knows full well that this is unacceptable.

Explain to me, like I'm 5, why this is an issue. Your daughter presumably went to college, graduated, has a job, and an apartment where she pays her own bills.

Help me understand how this growna** WOMAN is a victim of a man who is in the same decade of life as she is. I'll wait.

I'm not talking about her academic or financial achievements. I'm talking about the social and emotional immaturity of her and most women her age.

So, you can’t explain how she would be a victim. She’d blow a 23 yo man, btw. And do the do.

I’m guessing you are remembering *yourself* at 29 and you were a disgusting pig. That’s not age, that’s character.

I knew better than to mess with the minds of young women.

You still haven’t said how she is going to be a victim. What is he going to DO?

The mere act of dating a girl lightyears younger than him is what he HAS done.

Who’s the girl? Because no one over the age of 18 is a “girl.”

To anyone over 27, 23 should seem like a kid.

What kind of Joh Deere Hillbilly YeeHaw nonsense is this?

If they tried doing that in 2023, they’d be arrested.

Nobody would know.🤫

He’s probably a different race. OP will deny it, of course, because anonymous message board, but there you go.

OP here. He is not of a different race, so there's that theory debunked.

I'm sure my parents weren't thrilled, but they didn't say anything, and anyway what could they say? I had a job and was paying all my own rent and bills, I was completely supporting myself. I'm glad they didn't share reservations if they had any, because 30 years later that boyfriend is my husband and we have children. So if OP does say something, and the relationship becomes long term, she could potentially be shooting herself in the foot.

I'm not planning on saying anything to my daughter. She's done nothing wrong. She's the victim, here, and is too young to realize that. Her boyfriend's the one who oughta know better. It's HIS responsibility to end this inappropriate relationship. That's why I'm planning on talking to him, and him alone.

Let us know how it goes! And how your relationship with your daughter progresses!

I'll understand if she's mad at me now. But when she's about 26 or 27, she'll understand that I was just doing my job as her father.
