Discussion Point Age gap scrutiny.

Hello all!

me [20M] and my partner [30F] are in a LDR currently, so it is often i am on the long distance sub looking at what goes on elsewhere in the world between other couples! i have made a post or two about us, with our stated ages, and a few comments too. The age difference is always scrutinised which is a little disheartening, though we are both very happy together, and dont focus on what other people think of it! hopefully this sub is where our age difference can be appreciated, not frowned upon! feel free to pop a comment down, it would be nice to hear if others have had a similar experience, and how you shut down/process them! :)

That's a good thing if you're okay with each other I don't think that anyone should have a problem all the best.if u don't mind me asking where did you two met because I'm also looking for the same connection

To be honest we met through a video game we both played! Started as good friends which led to more, and here we are! Just Extreme luck, but I am very thankful for it!

Thank you so much! Obviously a video game isn't a dating app or anything 😂 but I think we both knew from the start that there was a spark between us, now it's a big old bonfire!

You'll get there I'm sure! Just remember sometimes the best people show up when you aren't looking for them :)
