There's a clip of a guy in a comedy club where he's asked how old his wife is.

23

How old is he

42

How long have they been together

5 years

How did they meet

It's his friend's daughter

And then he gets a round of applause.

Large age gap relationships are frowned upon on reddit (even without the added disgusting factor of grooming your friend's daughter) but most people don't see them as a big deal.

Edit: It seems people think I'm cool with large age gap relationships with teenagers. I'm not. The above situation disgusted me. I have friends who were victims of being groomed into relationships with people in their 30s and 40s within months of turning 18 and I've seen the trauma it caused them.
