This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff
Warsaw, United States
We met a lot later!
Today, my co-workers figured out that I was in high school when my husband was in kindergarten. They won't stop calling me a "cougar". FML

You were doing algebra while he was figuring out how to tie his laces

It's not as bad as it sounds. Don't let what others' think a about you, bother you. Age is just a number. My Dad is 18 years older than my Stepmom. At first it bothered me, but after I saw how in love they were, their age didn't matter anymore. To he honest, my opinion didn't matter either, and neither does your co-workers!

Lol yeah and jail is just a room right?

Age is most definitely just a number, obviously within reason and legality. My sons mother was 6 years younger when we met

As long as we're talking about two consenting adults, age really is just a number

#46-- How much younger is she now?

44--- My Step-mom was a consenting adult when they met, so how does that mean jail time? 131-- I'm going to just go with a wild guess that if she was 6 years younger than him when they met, she is STILL 6 years younger than him now... :] Also, I definitely meant to say "to BE honest." Not he. ;]

That is a bit of a difference. But who am I to judge about that? My dad was in Vietnam when my mom was barely a toddler.

being called a "cougar" is better than being called a "cradle robber" do take it as a compliment

If it didn't matter before why should it matter now?

My mom and dad are 27 years apart and it's completely fine. I don't see why age should ever be a problem with any relationship unless it's like a 13 year old girl with a 30 year old man.

#22, and that's a 17 year difference. One of your parents was 30 when the other was 3!

As long as no one's doing the illegal *******, everything's cool. Except for gold diggers... that's kinda shitty... then again, those rich bastards bring it upon themselves.

My inlaws are 18 years apart and they have a perfect relationship, age is just a number

And jail is just a room ;) (I kid)

They got together when she was 32 and he was 50. It really is just a number depending on the maturity.

You're lucky that's all they call you, cradle robber. Ydi.

if OP is in love, then she's in love, it doesn't matter about age. I mean it is kinda unheard of, but she doesn't deserve them picking on her
mollyjynxjax 28
No, it's not unheard of. It's actually quite common. Age is just a number when it comes to two consenting adults.

as long as you get along and feel good with one another, right?
