But, go ahead and try OP, and get back to this thread on how it goes.

Yes, I'm definitely going to listen to someone who believes that 18 plus 3 is 23.

Can you actually not imagine that there might be some kids who are 23 when graduating college?

Gap years, mental health leave, COVID campus closures, 5 year plan--I know people in all those situations.

PP was being more inclusive in that answer while lacking specific info in the OP, which was a good idea.

Someone taking 5 years to graduate would be 22, not 23, upon graduation.

23 year olds, period, are like what teenagers used to be, and that goes for both genders.

DH and I celebrated our 20th anniversary last year. He’s 9 years older than me and we married when I was 22. Thank god my parents did not decide they needed to squash it. He’s an amazing husband.

When I started dating my husband I was 23 and he was 33. We have now been together almost 18 years. It's fine, no need to call paw patrol.

I can tell you for a fact that that's not the case with my daughter. She is also a year out of college.

I met my DH 6 months at of college. At work. We are still together 23 years later.

Why are you concerned? 6 years is a normal age gap. Did your daughter go away to school? Is she living on her own now? Why are you infantilizing her?

Crazy/troll. 6 years is fine age difference. Going strong with that difference for 21 years now.

No way this is a real post.

OP, ask your daughter’s boyfriend on a date. An evening listening to your idiocy will chase him away.

I was 24 dating 31. Married 26 years now 2 kids. You crazy

DH and I have a 6 year age gap. Married over 20 years.
