Some that quickly come to mind: Alec Baldwin is 26 years older than his wife. I completely understand your angst about this - who would want her son in the arms of a “predator”? Still, before you label Justin this way, I’d ask you to consider a few “May/December” opposite-sex couples. Should I keep quiet and pray it ends soon or speak up? Tim starts college this fall, and I am hoping he’ll find a more appropriate boyfriend there. What could a 40-year-old man have in common with a teenager? I think he’s a predator. They met last year when Tim was still in high school! My husband, Tim’s father, died three years ago, and I think Tim is looking for a father figure. I have no problem with that, but he also announced he’s seeing a man who’s 20 years his senior.
