It's nobody's business but the couples themselves.

Different strokes for different folks.

I'm 43 my partner is 27 we have been together 4yrs and have a daughter aged 3, the age difference between us means nothing!

When you say 'why people can't stop- debating,' who do you mean exactly? Who's debating? And how do you know?

Perhaps because the media are always making such a big deal of it.

The rules have already been set in everyone’s country. USA being 18. I don’t understand why it’s “problematic”when it’s really this simple. And Above all its Nobody’s business who you decide to be with.

I heard this from somewhere once: 'As long as you don't do it with kids, animals, your family or the dead-everything else is nobody's business!'

Because most people understand that people can't do whatever they want without thinking of what is 'right or wrong'. Age difference isn't a problem as long as they have the minimum of age to be in a relationship,how they met and that both parties approve to be together.

Hey you know species are dying and Earth is burning, right?

They aren’t

Why is that anyone’s business but the couples?

Age gap? The levels of insanity keep getting stretched.....

All relative, as the 46 year old nonce uncle said when found in bed with his fifteen year old niece.

Who cares

You can only narrow the gap as this age differences in marriage have existed since the Renaissance era. It’s insane and 8 out 10 younger women marry to older men will become breaking up. Not more than 5 years different. Truce.

I think they can...

If the gap is too wide, then you are a long time a widow - the gap for me was 14 years and I have been a widow for 31years

No else's fucking business. Just like everything else people with small little lives gossip about.

You meant 'women'? I have not seen a man discussing such issues.

If two consenting adults want to be together, they can, and it's nobody else's business.

These mythical 'people' again. Your 'journalists' then I take it?

Watch TeamTrump's broadcast: WATCH: President Donald Trump in Old Forge, PA

Because they can’t mind their own fucking business.

The only age gap relationships we wont tolerate are between minors and adults.

There's those 'people' again. Are you sure 'people' isn't just those you pass off as journalists?

Problematic to who?

it's called both jealousy and not having the faintest idea of what's going on between two people...

My father was thirteen years older than my mother. She liked to get her own way and he struggled to try and please her all the time. Because she was so much younger glamorous and attractive I think he was scared she would leave him for someone younger.

Who the hell cares? Love is freaking love🤦‍♀️😩

About that Alex Morse thing, there is evidence of a coordinated smear campaign.

Why not let adults live their life and do what they want 🙄

because not everyone has a sense of ridicule !!

Let people do what they want. No one needs a random ass person judging them simply for loving someone who may be older, especially if they’re legal adults. Let people love their lives damn is that so hard.

So two of your pics show older women? That’s why we have to ask this question?

Jimmy savile loved a big age gap

Who ever writes these cringly clickbait headlines for your indy100 tabloid should know, no one is having these discussions, no one cares.

Ask Adam Johnson or Prince Andrew.

More power to AshtonKutcher holy god..
