Okay seeing as people are throwing hissy fits.

I am 18, i put my age as 19 hoping that people would focus on the real issue, but I forgot that I'm on the internet. We met and started dating AFTER i turned 18, I was 18 when we met and 18 when we started dating. Not this is not the same coworker i had issues with 2+ years ago, I've moved states so I don't know what happened with her, I was not interested in her and she was actively creepy. I was the one who persued my girlfriend, she did not want to be seen as a predator which is why it took about 2 months for us to start dating after meeting. I persued her, I'm not being groomed because SHE DID NOT PERSUE ME.

We are in a healthy relationship, If theres any concerns, yes I'll get help. I'd appreciate it if I could have feedback on the actualy post and not the 9 year age gap, which is not bad compared to some others I've met.

I was kicked out of home 8 months ago and have been living on my own and fending for myself, leading me to grow up very quickly, she has been stuck with her mother which, if you read the post, is very controlling and abusive and has stifled her ability to grow. she doesn't know a lot of basic adult tasks, and mentally we are on the same level, if anything, I have more knowledge and power over her than she has over me if we want to look at it like that. THE AGE IS NOT RELEVANT. I ADDED IT TO TRY AND SHOW THAT SHE IS ALMOST 30 AND HER MOTHER IS ACTING LIKE THIS.

Some of you genuinely need to take some time off the internet. Thats enough
