To be upset my dd is dating a middle aged man

[Middleaged77]

She dating a 30 year old he’s 30 late July and she’s 22 23 one Tuesday. He’s middle aged and she’s still so young

Misread the thread title as "my dad" and thought well, that's a bit homophobic of you but maybe it was a shock... slightly disappointed now tbh.

What the hell are you talking about? I’m 30 and not middle aged. He’s 29 for gods sake. I can’t tell whether this is rage bait or you need to get a grip. That is not a big age gap at all.

You were 4 years younger than this woman is. That’s half the age gap again!

😂

I would be upset too. Big age and life experience.

He's not middle aged. Don't be ridiculous.

This is at least the second time you’ve posted about this, you did it in April and everyone laughed at you then as well.

Get a grip on yourself.Since when has 30 been middle aged.
I thought you were going to say your DD was dating someone 50+ yrs old

I'm 7 years older than my DH, been together 16 years with a 14 year old daughter, somehow we coped with the age gap🙄

To paraphrase the post without all the ridiculousness "a couple both in their twenties have started dating". In what realm could this possibly be an issue? This is probably the same poster who was aghast that her 19 year old DD had befriended a "middle-aged" 25 year old. Why the vitriol against those in their twenties over 25 OP? How peculiar.

I do hate to break it to you, but as your precious daughter enters the real world, there is a small possibility she will encounter people that are - shock horror- older than her. People aren't limited to interacting with, working with, forming friendships with or even dating people who happen to be older than them.

Is the heat getting to you OP? He's 29.

I started dating my husband when I was 20 - he was 29. I went away to college and he use to drive up to see me in between working abroad for a few weeks at a time. We married when I was 25 and he was 34. Next year we celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary ! Age is but a number !!

29 year old is not middle aged. And a 7 year age gap in your twenties is perfectly reasonable! Young men take longer to mature mentally and emotionally so 23 and 30 could be a perfectly good match.

30 is a very long way from middle age!!

Also she’s 23, not a teenager.

Yabu

And here I was expecting he would be 50yo from the thread title. Give your head a shake.

I sense another one post wonder🙄

Wow I feel old now! The age gap is only a few years, they are both currently in their twenties. I don’t see the issue.

Based on the title I thought your 23 year old was going to be dating someone late 40s.

Those are the ages my parents were when they met. For their generation I think there was more of an age gap as I know my dad though that at 29 and divorcing his life was behind him. 29 now though can be barely out of the living with mum and dad stage thanks to the fucked housing market. They're both young adults, in their 20s, living a fun young person in their 20s life. It's hardly having to worry that he's about to retire and she's hitting her prime!

Log it with 101. He’s obviously up to no good

He’s not middle aged. Stop being silly.

It’s hardly like he’s drawing his pension is it? Unclench.

7 yrs difference? Thats not that much. I thought you were going to say he was nearly 50, not nearly 30!

OP, I think you need to check out Court of Protection.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jeezo. She’s not a child, and he’s not middle aged. It’s what, a 7 year gap? You are being silly.

Grow up
