Hi all, my DP is 26, I’m 30. In a lot of ways he seems a lot younger than me, for example I have a 3 year old, he has no children. Our lives are also just very different, he lives in a zone 1 house share while I’m out in Essex with my own little house. We’ve been together 6 months and increasingly it feels like it won’t last.
Heres the latest situation, his workplace has taken on a few degree apprentices and grads this year, there’s only maybe 40 people in his office and they are all quite social. Until lately his friends from work have been younger but not by much think around 23-25. However he’s now befriended 2 of the degree apprentices who are 18 and 19 and a grad who’s 21. It feels odd to me that he’s friends with people who are barely adults but it’s the nature of his office so okay.
On Thursday a group of them went drinking after work, he and one other were older guys 26 and 29, then a bunch of younger girls at 24,24,22,21,19 and 18. The other guy is dating one of the girls so that didn’t seem as weird but to me it was odd he was with these much younger girls.
Then on Friday he was chatting to me and he was telling me how one of these girls must me super rich, I was like how do you even know? And he told me that the work drinks stopped at 8, they got a cab back to hers, he waited in her room while she got changed, then they walked back a little more central and got more drinks - she’s 18!! In fact I found her instagram she’s barely been 18 3 months!!
It’s so odd to me that he was just sat on some 18 year olds bed at her parents home while she got changed then went for drinks with her alone! And that’s on top of the being friends with all the much younger girls.
AIBU to think it’s weird? He thinks I’m making it weird and he was just drinking with a friend but she’s a child more or less!
