Is this a weird age difference?!

So a friend of mine (female) has recently gone from dating men to dating women, however her latest relationship is slightly weirding me out because of the ages…

I don’t mind an age difference (there is 10 years between my other friend and her partner) but my friend is late 20’s and this new woman she is talking to is 20… there is roughly around 8 years difference between the 2 of them, but the woman has only just turned 20 so has only just stopped being a teenager whereas my friend is nearly 30 years old…

I just can’t get my head around it because it feels slightly pervy… AIBU?!

DO grow up! You sound a bit jealous of her actually. DO you fancy him or something? Or are you just being extra nasty because you're bitter about your husband being with a new woman? (You said it's your ex husband's new wife's adult son!') I also don't understand what the F it has to do with you.

Jealous of what exactly that her son gets odd looks wherever they go ? Must be so proud 🙄

not remotely wierd... butt out.

It would also be fine if she where still a teen too (obviously not 13 but 18/19), they are two legal consenting adults who have the RIGHT to make the choice to date.

It looks weird. And it is weird. She’s about 3 foot tall, speaks like Alice out of the Vicar of Dibley. Literally left school in April, he was there with her when she collected are A-level results I mean I’m not being funny but it’s not what you want for your daughter ? I’d be bloody disgusted if it was my son.

3 foot tall?

So shes a dwarf?

Your saying its peadophilic to date an adult dwarf because she looks like a child... what and abilist and sick indervidual you are.

I don’t like it. Those ages are in totally different times of life. What could they possibly have in common?

Mumsnet in general seems to be very defensive of age gap relationships.

What Ralph said.
