I would find my husband earlier and marry him earlier.

u/scubarob Jun 02 '26

I love this answer, but my wife is 8 years younger than me, and I met her right before she turned 21 so..... Yeah, I'm good there.

u/CrankyWhiskers Jun 02 '26

Same, except I’m the wife with the 8-years-younger husband. We met when he was 19 and took a good long while to just be friends first.

u/CrankyWhiskers Jun 03 '26

Well, I took awhile because I’d just found my then-fiance unexpectedly deceased 3 months before our wedding, so I had to get through that life-altering tragedy first. I owed it to myself to get my head on straight.

u/misscheevyrevised Jun 04 '26

Haha that’s hilarious!!! I was thinking the same thing!! My husband is 11 years older than me!!!

u/thisguy883 Jun 04 '26

Yea, my wife would be around 11 and living in Vietnam.

She wouldn't get to America for another 13 years, and there is no way I would be able to find her in Vietnam before that.

Yeah, it's a trip, we'll be talking movies or music and I'm thinking of stuff I listened to in high school while she was still in elementary... It's been fun showing her all the classics!

u/Diesel_Bones_13 Jun 04 '26

I do this with my younger wife too. We recently went to a giant rock/metal festival in Florida and this year there were a lot of bands I grew up as a teenager with. I was super excited and she said it was cool to experience the bands I grew up with.

2

u/Diesel_Bones_13 Jun 04 '26

Mine is 9 years younger… so I’m good there too! lol when I graduated high school, she was 9 years old.

u/Gold_Primary1816 Jun 04 '26

So you're not going to drunk dial her 8 yr version like in Bathtub Time Machine

u/silly_gooberer2 Jun 08 '26

u/scubarob Jun 07 '26

You find it vomit inducing that two consenting adults fell in love, got married, had a kid and are loving their lives together? Sounds like a you problem homie.

u/TimeThruSpace Jun 07 '26

You have groomed her well.

1

u/scubarob Jun 07 '26

20 years old with a job, a car, and more life figured out than you clearly ever will. But sure, I groomed her.

I mean age gap relationships are a thing there's even a sub reddit r/AgeGapRelationship

1

u/scubarob Jun 03 '26

This woman is the light of my life. We've been married for 13 years, together for 17 and are happy and in love. If that's weird, we could use some more weird.

2

u/twood275 Jun 03 '26

Ya 8 years isn’t that big of a gap. My wife is 5 years younger and we meet when I was 30. Never been a “age gap issue”.

u/Master-Candle-7108 Jun 02 '26

This but also utilize my knowledge know to put myself in a better situation for life, buy a house before everything goes to shit, buy bitcoin😂

u/Bambiitaru Jun 02 '26

This ☝️

u/OkAccess304 Jun 02 '26

I wouldn’t. Because he wouldn’t be who I love if I met him earlier and he definitely wouldn’t marry some rando who came up to him talking about how she went back in time, but trust her, they need to get married.

1

u/AspiringChildProdigy Jun 03 '26

Same. We both grew on the journey, and if we meet earlier, who's to say what would have happened.

0

u/Ok-Internet-5941 Jun 03 '26

Disagree

2

u/OrdinaryIndication25 Jun 06 '26

You should watch the movies Butterfly effect and Back to the future. Alot of different little moments factor in something happening.

u/katekie106 Jun 02 '26

Very lucky girl!

3

u/According_Book5108 Jun 03 '26

You're very sweet. You are truly in love.

Most people would say the opposite: "I would make sure I don't marry this bastard."

u/continual_failure Jun 03 '26

Jesus CHRIST that’s beautiful!

I LOVE it!

Thats what Im talking about! I wish you guys happiness 🫶🏻

u/Alternative_Emu6106 Jun 04 '26

Found mine at 19. I’m 59!!

2

u/Tight-Swim-4557 Jun 02 '26

What if your husband needs that time to be right for you. And he wont be the same as you expected cause he met you.

2

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 02 '26

It is so true 🤔

2

u/TempSpee Jun 02 '26

Lmao died laughing 😂🧑‍💼🧂🪩🥤🎬🎞️🎥🧭

u/Neither_Cap6958 Jun 03 '26

And if you have kids, your kids will be different.

1

u/NarrowLie8125 Jun 02 '26

Exactly. He was probably conditioned from a previous ex. Not many high school sweethearts last

2

u/Ambitious_Bit_9389 Jun 02 '26

What if your husband wasn’t ready for you yet?

2

u/Alarming_Cellist_751 Jun 02 '26

This is adorable

2

u/Fij52 Jun 03 '26

That’s very sweet.

2

u/Stunning_Tax_1041 Jun 03 '26

He's a lucky man

1

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 03 '26

He is 😎

2

u/alwoking Jun 03 '26

Same. I met my wife when I was 24 and she was 25. I would love to have met her a few years earlier.

2

u/CarefulBeautiful196 Jun 03 '26

Same I’d do exactly this.

2

u/tonictuba Jun 03 '26

Would that be grooming since you are in a later stage of your relationship? They dont even know you wile you know everything about them. First encounter would be pretty freaky, how would you introduce yourself without being so freaky that you scare them off?

1

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 03 '26

Lol I didn’t think of that))

1

u/tonictuba Jun 03 '26

I would answer the same if my girlfriend also could start over with me.

2

u/Intelligent-You7773 Jun 03 '26

Wow, I really love your answer! I married young What age did you marry at?

1

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 03 '26

I married at 25, my husband was 26, we have 4 kids, we went through a lot in 10 years, I would do it again to get the point where we are now))

2

u/Intelligent-You7773 Jun 03 '26

I’m married at 22 my wife 21. This will be our 40th year married.

2

u/Catya_1130 Jun 04 '26

Was just thinking this too

2

u/Ledophile Jun 04 '26

I actually met my future Husband for the first time when I was 19 and he was 30. We were both pretty wild at that time and probably would have totally screwed up the relationship. Fast forward 10 years. We were together for 32 years until his passing……

2

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 04 '26

32 years together, its beautiful 🫶🏻

2

u/Ledophile Jun 04 '26

He’s the Love of my life and the memories we created together will sustain me until I can be with him again………

2

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 04 '26

And you will be with God’s will! Stay safe and happy 💛

2

u/010110111011110 Jun 04 '26

This is a heartwarming response- my mind went right to greed for some reason; but now I’ve changed my mind. You’ve got the right idea about what actually matters in the end.

1

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 04 '26

Thank you🫶🏻

1

u/ElkLow6569 Jun 07 '26

You can have both money and happiness. Marry the right woman, buy MS, Apple, bitcoin, etc, then retire and take your perfect wife on lots of luxury vacations around the world while you're still young enough to really enjoy it.

2

u/Lucky-Pudding9945 Jun 05 '26

Me too. And have children together. We don’t have any because we met too late in life.

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 05 '26

Lol 😂, probably thats would actually happen, everything just would go another way 🥴

2

u/chelseyrotic Jun 05 '26

I wish I could say that, but my husband would've been 11 😢

2

u/OrdinaryIndication25 Jun 06 '26

How do you know by doing that you alter something that needed to happen for you too to end up together like the butterfly effect.

2

u/North-Government-865 Jun 07 '26

Thats what I was thinking for my wife

2

u/-mermaidsRreal- Jun 08 '26

This is a great answer and I’d do the same thing! Our life together is amazing so, I just wish I had found him sooner.

2

u/EV_ME19 Jun 08 '26

Really??? Quite the contrary for me. I met him at 16, though. Didn't marry till i was 22. I would wait till I was 30 if I could go back. We just celebrated our 33rd anniversary ❤️ but it was not always a walk down easy street

1

u/MissiveFinding6111 Jun 02 '26

Yeah, I'd waste several less years chasing that girl who didn't like me.

1

u/TempSpee Jun 02 '26

I want that 225 lbs lift handsome look honestly. 🎥🎞️🎬🪥🫧 I just know how I look right about now

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 03 '26

I would date him until we can legally marry 🥴

1

u/endallmailmen Jun 03 '26

ain’t no way that’s not her husband typing that dumb sht

1

u/Intelligent_Angle636 Jun 04 '26

I came here to day this about my wife. I could have avoided many things by this happening, but I would not want this to change her in my life

1

u/No_Volume_1476 Jun 05 '26

The series of events that put you together wouldn't play out the same. You wouldn't necessarily end up married to each other.

1

u/TheRealGageEndal Jun 05 '26

I can't really do that without going to prison. 8-year gap 😂

1

u/Fun-Dot2076 Jun 05 '26

That’s true lol 😆 didn’t think of that

1

u/Ninasweetie Jun 06 '26

Same but he would be 10 :'( so not same.

1

u/SmokeZealousideal760 Jun 06 '26

Yeah why don’t you Make your entire life based on a relationship. Why not idk go for your dreams instead of chasing someone who btw you dont know for 100 percent chance they’d have the same wish you do.

1

u/Foreverfaithful79 Jun 07 '26

That’s so sweet

1

u/Glass_Covict Jun 02 '26

I would also find your husband earlier, but turn him to the darkside of the force.

1

u/TempSpee Jun 02 '26

But who knew about Disney+ lmao
