they're so cute but what the hell is the age gap is soooooo age gapping

I agree but at least they're both adults

I mean, I was 19 when I started dating my now husband who is 8 years older than me. It's not as big as this story's age gape but age gaps are not inherently bad. They're only bad if they're predatory, which in neither situation was the case. (The, "It's easier to date younger because they listen better," mentality)
