Well, it is a bit strange, but love comes in all forms I suppose![]()
Where the hell are her parents?
Mine too, except she and I would both have to flee the country. Because I'd castrate the middle-aged pervert that would do that to my kid, if I didn't kill him outright.
They had to sign the papers for her to get married at 16. It sounds to me like they tried "everything" to keep them apart, and just gave in and gave their permission.




How many people are there on here that have married/dated/are dating a much older person?
Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.
*raises hand*
That's why I said "but love comes in all forms I suppose". I guess I'm more openminded to these kinds of things, even though that age difference is almost double my husband and I's.




Good point. Just interesting to see what people in a similar situation, or as similar as can be, are thinking on this.
Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.
There is a world of difference between 25 and 45 vs. 16 and 40. A teenage girl is absolutely not ready for marriage, and certainly not to a middle-aged man. That's disgusting.
Well yes, but just be happy that
a) it isn't your daughter
and
b) you arent the 16 year old girl.
How long do you think that's really going to last anyways?
she will relize how dumb she is after she pops out her 4th kid and and has nothing to of her own.




There's nothing wrong with an age gap, as long as both parties are adults. There is plenty wrong with an adult having a romantic relationship with someone who is legally a child.
Way way true Yekhefah!! I mean really... I'm 22 and my max is dating a guy who is 32, I say ten years older than me and as long as my man gan legally walk into a bar with me we're good, but that guy is 24 years her senior. He If he wants to take his wife to a club she cant get in (in most places that are worth going to) for another 2 years or 5 years if it's 21 and up...
IMO if you need your parents permission it should be for a school trip, not to get married. How many people were ready to get married at 16?? Hell like I said I'm 22 and there is no fucking way I am ready to get married, I am still in a time of tremenoud amounts of personal growth. And if I were married to the guy I was dating at 16, oh man, I would not be a happy camper! The only reason I can possibly see this being a good thing is if the girl was being fucked with at home (abuse I mean) and this was her only way out... a 24 year difference is not that bad once the younger person is older, but at 16.. you still arent a Junior in high school (ok some are but still)




They couldn't wait for 2 freaking years?
^^^ that's why I think maybe she was in a very abusive home... I had a friend get married and knocked up to get out of her abusive house at 17, sad but true. I just hope this guy makes her go to school.





As a teacher in his 40's, I am offended by this guy's behavior. 40 yr. old men don't have very much in common with 16 yr. old girls for one thing, but for a 40 yr. old teacher to become intimate enough with a student to determine he wanted to marry her is really wrong. They are not on an even playing field and teenagers are so easily manipulated. I don't know what is more offensive - this, or teachers who have affairs with their students. I guess the affairs should be more offensive.





NO 16 yr. old should be getting married...no matter how old thier partner is.
That man is a fucking creep. D:



And no legal action is going to be taken? Fucking sicko.



Well...I honestly wish them the best. I met my husband when I was 16, he was 23 and my family put us through hell. I got emancipated and moved in with him just before my 17th birthday. I'd have married him right then if I had to, but I wanted to wait and have a big wedding. (Which I did, at 20, and it was PERFECT!)
I realize that our age difference isn't as large, but I remember being 16 and in love with an older man. Being underage isn't the same thing as being a child. I knew what I was doing and I've never regretted my choices. I hope someday this girl can say the same.
The relationship will end when she's not a little girl anymore and the pervert loses interest. Then he'll have to go find another sweet young girl, and who knows where the hell this one will be psychologically and emotionally. I only hope upon HOPE they don't breed. Bringing kids into this fucked-up situation would be absolutely inexcusable.
I met my ex-husband when I was 17 and he was 22; we were married three years later. There is a VAST difference between a guy in his early 20's and a teacher in his forties. Not only is he old enough to be her father, he's also an authority figure, making their relationship completely inappropriate.
I too married at 20, and yeah, I knew what I was doing at the time. However, even that little five-year age gap caught up with us in the end. I was divorced before I was 25 and I missed out on a LOT of growth and development; I'm still making up for it. My ex was a great husband and a wonderful man but you are just not the same woman at 20 as you are at 30, and I do think inevitably these marriages will usually fizzle out. I hope yours doesn't, but be prepared to take care of yourself, and wait awhile before you have kids.
