I thought I'd get some anonymous opinions about this.

My friend is 25 and her dad is dating her former classmate. She lives with him and she finds it uncomfortable. I kind of feel for her but also think it's none of her business?

Well it's her Dad so I think it is her business in that she is bound to have an opinion and feelings about it.
And I don't blame her for feeling uncomfortable.

It’s grim, I feel really sorry for her.

He’s horrible.

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 14/03/2025 16:18

That is absolutely grim on every level.
If that were my dad, it would be game over especially as your friend is just 25, so I assume he’s around 50?

I get her not liking it but the friend is 25, not 18. Both consenting adults so up to them.

It’s grim, but I guess the answer is to move out and live independently in that case.

TwistedWonder · 14/03/2025 16:22

It’s grim as fuck and in your friends shoes I’d be moving out as soon as possible and far away from the grubby old creep

I’d also find it a bit uncomfortable, and if I was close enough to and had a good enough relationship with my dad to still be living with him at 25, I’d say so, and also raise an eyebrow out loud. If your friend can’t do that then she probably shouldn’t still be living with her dad and needs to spread her wings and start her own home and adult life, and leave him to get on with his own life.

I think “grim” is a bit hyperbolic, this woman is well into her twenties and hasn’t been his daughter’s classmate for many years. I doubt the age gap will work out long term, but using the term “classmate” as if he’s attracted to a teenager in school uniform is a bit of a red herring.

No..I’d hate it.
