Y’all should hang with Filipinos. That gap is perfectly normal. My wife is freaked out to be 6-months older than me when all her friend’s husbands are 20+ years older, 40 in one case. She hates it to the point I can’t even joke about it at a party. :)

Still creepy. It doesn’t matter that it’s normalized on their culture.

  Creepy or not, as long as it’s legal, unforced, and consensual.

    This is not a healthy reaction to internalized misogyny.

    I guess. But at what point do societal expectations and pressure override consent in a fully formed and educated human? Is there such a point? Something about this makes me think there is.
    
    Then again, I also think that forcing children into a religion is abuse. So maybe this is just my skewed view that the influence of culture is often inappropriate.

Isn’t the French formula 1/2 + 7 years?
