That is the basic statement being made here. That the age-gap here is problematic.
When he was her age, she wasn’t even born yet. This is his first wife too. He remained unmarried for 45 years, and when he finally got hitched it was someone who literally just earned the right to drink.
I think the larger issue here is that you see absolutely no issue with this age gap, and feel it necessary to defend it, just because they are “consenting adults”, and completely ignoring the fact that there is a power imbalance, and a maturity mismatch that begs serious questions on the nature of his relationship.
Read my other post. I stated I wasnt a fan of it. I wouldn’t do it. Don’t put words in my mouth. People here seem to want to keep shifting what constitutes an adult and restrict the autonomy of the individuals involved. That’s what I disagree with.
21 is teenager part 2.
28 is the cutoff for grown adult and can do as they please.
It’s actually 36. That’s the age in the US when you have all your age-based Constitutional restrictions removed.
Edit: it’s actually 35 not 36.
Big if true

Ignorance is bliss. You can lead a horse to water, it you can’t make them drink.
I’m very glad you’ve chosen to be happy.
I’m glad you made that decision for everyone. So two 20 year olds having sex aren’t adults? Just admit you don’t like the age gap and be honest.

They met when she was 16 and he was 41. Tell me more about “what constitutes an adult”.
Ok, I was unaware of that, and it sounds like grooming.
You are welcome.
