again though. they are adults. they should be treated as adults and allowed to date who they want without others jumping to unfair conclusions. there's zero evidence of manipulation in this post on the part of the older woman. you can't assume that just because someone is hypothetically more vulnerable to manipulation that they are actually being manipulated. i don't appreciate grown women being infantilized because they're "vulnerable"

Very true!

Bahaha yeah at least it wasn't a dirty Sanchez 🤣

Lol there are people who probably pay for stuff like that. At least you guys can laugh about it, that's a good thing!

It's not just an age difference, it's a huge maturity and life experience difference, which is being highlighted by the dysfunctionally immature behavior in the post. 8 years isn't a big deal when you're 30 and up but 24 is still a developing brain and so much more vulnerable to manipulation.

True love is being able to get through the real shit together and come out stronger

Oh he's the best 🤣 we've been best friends for like 15 years

Literally 😂

If he can laugh about it, he's a keeper

Did you really change your name to Saul Goodman? What a savage

Good luck at your new job!

Eh, shit happens

I’m a high school teacher, and every year I have students who want to be called by a different name, usually female transgender students who want to be called by a male name. It’s not hard to do that, and it doesn’t matter to me if they want to go by a different name. That’s a small gesture to make to make someone feel supported. If I can do that for students I barely know at first, I don’t understand why she wouldn’t do it for someone she’s in a relationship with.

It's disrespectful for her to ignore your wishes for your own name. Especially once it's a known issue.

Oh Lord have mercy I will die of embarrassment but I can see that happening now that you said it !!! 😂😂😂

Will make a brilliant segment of the groom's speech someday 😅

Sometimes errors lead to good outcomes.

Change name to Tifu, problem solved every day.

I know actors in the States sometimes take new names when they join SAG-AFTRA but I thought most didn't actually change the names on their birth certificate though. Can you kinda do the opposite? Or the same? When you're with your girlfriend go by your original name and only use your professional name for professional purposes?

Deadnaming is a real issue and demonstrates an utter lack of respect.

> my boss was furious, and I’m not sure what will happen next

I have a pretty good idea
