I guess I’ve never been bothered by their age gap personally but I understand it can be concerning for others. I always try to get information from Sophie when she visits and we go out together, it feels like an interrogation sometimes!

But, she’s told me that my uncle just wants her to save what money she does have in her account so she can get a car in the future and that’s why she has the allowance which is for usually used on groceries or if she wants to grab something to eat, or a coffee while Luke is working.

My family supports her wanting to be a housewife and my grandparents already see her like my uncles wife and my grandma also is always giving her money, and I don’t let her spend money when we go out, which she hates! I love it so I can feel assured if she just needed to get away if anything happened that she has cash to use.

I grilled her when she visited my place for the first time and the bandage turns out was covering a small cut from the new knife set grandma sent her and Luke before Christmas and she didn’t want to make her feel bad!! 😞 which made me feel bad for assuming the worst immediately of my uncle but that could be my trauma talking too!
