    Man, everyone is jumping to the conclusion there’s an age gap. Have none of you met anyone that doesn’t look their age?

    As an aside, my wife and I are 14 years apart. She’s the older one. Started dating when I was 23 (she was 37, so the “rule” would have put her limit at 25.5) and married for nearly a decade now.

      My ex wife is six months older than me but apparently looked much younger than me. When we were in our mid twenties we would regularly get odd looks, she’d get carded and I wouldn’t, etc.

      The funniest time though was when we were at an “adult event”. A friend of mine who hadn’t met her yet saw us together, pulled me aside, and said, “Dude, she’s way too young for you and teenagers aren’t allowed here. Get her out of here before we have to kick you out for good.” We were both 28. 🤣🤣🤣

    • My partner and I are pretty regularly confused for mother and daughter, which is super weird because we’re only 7 years apart. We’re in similar life stages so we never thought about the age difference at all until someone mistook us in public. It was super awkward all around. Is 36 really that much more than 29?

      My wife and I are eleven months apart. She gets carded and I don’t. Some people just look young.

      … and I spent fifteen years on drugs and heavy drinking.
