View submission: My boyfriend says I’m privileged
Yeah. After 30 you can do what you want, but I’m still gonna side eye a 15 year age gap. 👀

Yeahhhhh. I'm 30 and if I was with a 46 year old woman who spoke to me like this I'd have major red flags

You ever notice that a lot of the posts asking for relationship advice here are with large age gaps?
They can work out, but it's often part of the issue.

I just want to mention that I initiated the relationship with him because I usually date older. But now I do realize how an age gap can definitely create issues.
Honestly, him bringing up me being privileged has made me feel pretty depressed. Some how having parents that love me and created a decent life for me I almost feel sad about. Theres nothing I can change about being privileged except be aware of it and it’s nothing I throw in his face. If anything I try to do anything possible to make his life better..
I’m going to talk to him and see what happens. Although some how every discussion we have I just end up agreeing with him.

Thats fucked up tbh. My friend group has people in it between 30 and 50. Of course there are couples as well. Times have changed. People look after themselves, still look good when they are 50, are social, go to concerts, go out….. Reddit is very weird when it comes to age gaps between two adults.

For what reason? 30+ year olds are mature and secure enough to start a family, so why’s dating up an issue?

Some of the best relationships I know of, have a similar age gap...
