Hello. I am looking for a younger persons perspective on this matter. I know my son frequents this site so we thought this might be the place to get it.
My daughter is a 21 year old female. Her fiancé is 36. She just graduated college and moved out on her own this past fall. My wife and I are 58 and 55 years old, respectively. We also have two sons.
When my children were young, we had a close family friend who died tragically in 2001, leaving behind a 16 year old. We took him into our hone for over four years while he finished school and he was able to stand on his own. We gave him a substantial monetary donation to start his own business, which has since become wildly successful. I never minded any of this one bit because I always saw him as one of my own children. He is now 36 years old.
This past Sunday we had a family dinner, at which time my daughter decided to inform us that not only were they engaged, they had also been seeing each other for the past three years.
My wife, sons and I all feel incredibly betrayed and blindsided by this revelation. The amount of lies and secret keeping they had to be telling to keep this relationship from us is astonishing. The large age difference is also very disturbing to us.
STORY:
Update: My wife and I had a discussion with our 21-year-old daughter over her engagement to a 36-year-old man whom we saw as a surrogate son, I have many concerns over their relationship
