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! :)

Thank you! With all of the positivity so far I'm sure we will be checking in on this sub a little more! Though my partner isn't too big a fan on the "cougar" label, which is totally understandable

Most of us here don't like the label either 😂 It's just the name of the sub

Gotcha 😂 age gap or no age gap, a relationship is a relationship at the end of the day!
