Let’s stop shaming adults for the “age-gap” in relationships.

Age Appropriation where it isn’t due.

Ever read a headline, “Gold-digger marries Lottery winner”.

Or how Anna-Nicole Smith was pretty much the talk of the town when she married J. Howard Marshall?

Even the President of France couldn’t escape the wrath of “age-rage” when he married his wife Brigitte Macron.

What’s odd to me is, nobody cares to notice that the age-difference between Mr. and Mrs. Macron (25 years) is nearly the same as Mr. and Mrs. Trump (24 Years); except the genders are reversed.

I’m sure they have a lot to discuss on this matter.

I’m 26, considering my past two relationships didn’t go all too well — my partner being usually the same age as me, respectively during High-School and My first year at University.

I came to a realisation that due to my own inability to communicate with people of my own age, I tend to get along with individuals who tend to be much older than me.

Which is why most of my colleagues are my friends, they’re almost all at least 6–8 years older.
