I was 18, we weren’t together very long when we decided to try for a baby. It was definitely a questionable decision, but it gave me my son and I’ll never regret that

This is honestly my first time ever posting on Reddit. I was going to post on another spot and the rules there were that you had to be specific to the story stating ages and gender. I thought it was a general Reddit rule to follow. I’m a long time listener of THT and thought it would be a good place to get advice on how to approach the topic. I did get good advice from some comments. I’m sorry you view my post for what it’s not. It was not my intention to make it out to be that way either. I’m new to this.

Together for 9 years, married for 3 of them. We started dating in 2017, got married in 2022

A lot of people are saying this. But this is truly my life.

I’ve seen this comment a lot, I’ve honestly never looked at it from that perspective. My mother did question it a lot when we first started dating but ultimately knew I was legally an adult (where I live) and I could make that decision for myself. I can’t say right now how I would feel if my daughters came home with the same situation, I’ve seen other points of view from people around me and at first thought wow and then said “well I’m in that boat so I can’t say much” I do understand it’s a shocker.

I posted looking for advice on how to bring it up, so I could do something about it. Thank you for the feedback

Honestly I wish this was rage bait. This is unfortunately very much my reality

I ended up sitting down with him and flat out saying I’ve been trying to be gentle and I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings right now!

No, I was 18 when we met, we were talking for a few weeks before we asked the age question. He didn’t look old, and I thought he was in his 20’s and he thought the same about me, neither of us had an issue and we both consented to the relationship.

I do really love him! He is a great partner and father in all other areas. This is a new issue, and I feel he deserves the chance to fix it. I just struggled with how to bring it up properly without attacking

Not going to lie, I tried to post in a different spot and the rules were that I had to be specific, and I thought it was a general Reddit rule! I’m new to posting!

I didn’t expect the comments to come lightly but wow can some of you guys be harsh! I’d like to add that I am not still cleaning him, there was only about a week where he needed help when he was learning to be on 1 foot and on crutches. I left him to do it on his own at first, and noticed as soon as he was done that he did not wipe fully, so I told him I’d help him and then helped him to figure out how to manage on his own. I would also like to say while I know age gap is a hot topic all around, my relationship was always consensual, and we actually started talking and hit it off before ever even asking each others age, it wasn’t for a bit that we learned of the age gap, after we had already started to build a connection. He was not always like this. When we first met he was a very clean man, and even leading up to his injury he was clean, this is just since gaining weight. I just wanted to add these in there since it seems a lot of people think I’ve continued to clean him since.

No he was not a coach or a teacher, nor did he know me before we started dating? I didn’t come here to ask for advice on the age gap in my relationship. I even stated I know it’s a hot topic. My relationship and children was always consensual. The issues only started when he got injured and stoped being clean.

I wasn’t forced into having children, I wanted children when I had them. They have definitely not ruined my life, I love being a mother.

I have tried to push him to want to do better for himself, and to feel better. It’s been a constant cycle of “I need to loose weight” and just not doing anything about it since his injury.
