There was 25 years difference between my grandparents and no one ever thought that was a problem. It’s this new phenomenon that seems to have come about that people seem to think it’s an issue.
If you’re 20 and dating a 10-year-old, that’s a problem (hopefully we all agree on that). But if you’re 30 and dating the 20-year-old, that’s fine. The age difference isn’t important. The age of the individuals is what matters.
Nope my bother wife 9 years younger then him. And my dad was once married to a woman 20 years older then him.

Exactly, but my kids think it should be an issue. So I blame them todays youth thinks it’s creepy.
Apparently, it’s half the age of the older person plus 7.
I know that’s supposed to be a thing, but it doesn’t make sense since, what is actually morally wrong with the 35-year-old dating a 20-year-old?
Everyone’s an adult in that scenario, no one’s taken advantage of anyone else.
My father was 36 and my mom was 23 when they got married. Other than him being somewhat abusive it was an okay marriage.
