Yes, obviously.

You need to stop aging for a year so they can catch up

It's ok you don't actually have to do anything. Reddit has already told her to break up with you, file a police report, kill your pets, marry you just to divorce you, and then tell all your friends how horrible you are and that they should never talk to you again.

You filthy pedophile!

well there you fucking have it, you let this epstein stuff go unpunished and then you have people bragging about their age gap relationship with a 28 year old child

I really gotta start reading what community before I read the post.

Yeah man, you gotta break up. Track down the person who was born at the exact same time down to the planck time. It's the only way to make it equal

Lawyer up, delete Facebook, hit the gym

Murder your partner, delete Facebook, go to the gym

DIVORCE

All these other shit-for-brains got it wrong. Here's what you do:

1. Find a woman your own age, pervert
2. Have her go through EXTENSIVE cosmetic surgery to become a replica of your current wife
3. Have newbie secretly follow your wife until she learns every habit, nuance, and personality trait
4. I'll leave the uglier details of this step to your own imagination
5. Pretend newbie has been your appropriately aged wife the whole time
6. Send us some feet pics of those juicy things you've got tucked away in your socks (this step is optional)

Stop listening to other people and listen to your partner because really their opinion is the only one that matters.

If you're both adults of your full mental facilities, than everyone else can stfu.

Your best option is to fake your death

(that's what reddit says)

If you’re looking to reddit for ethical advice, you’re already beyond help. Sorry.

I used to date a woman who's a month older than me. She used to joke about robbing the cradle. Too bad I'm not as clever as the Futurama writers, or I would've insisted instead that I was robbing the grave.

This whole age gap policing has gone waaaay too far.

Exploitation, abuse, induced dependency, these are all bad things. Abusers can go after people who are too old to think straight or too young to know better, but a moral panic about a 50 year old dating a 40 year old is ridiculous.

This is a high school mentality in the real world.

That's a serious issue! But you can work around it using asynchronous communication: you may not see her/him/them anymore, and only communicate using letters. Send them a letter using the US Postal Service, and by the time of arrives, age will have inevitably closed the age gap.

note: this is not US centric advice, using the US postal service will add sufficient delay from/to anywhere in the world.

A barrel roll. Clearly.

A lot of well-meaning commenters are missing the obvious solution here: Freeze yourself for one year.

Its only exploitation if you don't pay them in exchange for their goods and services.

What should I do?

Wait until it's night out, then take a long walk to think about your life. At least an hour or two, really wander around a bit, sit under a tree for a bit (just check for spiders first). Consider yourself as captain of earth, riding this big ball of mud and water and cheese and birds and Roblox across the solar system, which in turn is falling around the edges of the milky way Galaxy, which is falling towards the great attractor chased by the larger Andromeda Galaxy. And beyond that billions of light years of more galaxies and black holes and more muddy dirt balls falling through spacetime. From that cosmic perspective it's really easy to hear the sea lions and horses barking across the bay as you flour pixies from surreal bakery baskets.

Do the opposite of whatever Reddit says

YTA, set her free. She deserves to explore herself and rack up a body count in the triple digits before being owned by a man

Everyone knows that the rule is you take your age subtract 1, then add .5 and that's who you can date. Anything more than that .5 is grounds for termination. You know what you need to do.

If it helps 27/28 is greater than 17/18.

The older you get the closer you are in age.

Panic because if 1 year is an exploit,

Im not saying shit about the age gap between me and my girlfriend.

Is she consenting and into it? Some people are freaks, and that's okay.

My godparents had an almost 20 year difference and they loved each other very much (first marriage for both too, and only death could separate them). I understand the fear that men will trick and exploit a young and naive lady, but that's simply not the case every time. 🤷

And just FYI, my wife and I are the same age, lol.
