But what evidence do you have of anything? I think a 50 year age gap is creepy. You don’t. This isn’t a debate about climate change or vaccinations. There’s no scientific consensus on which position is correct.

I already have, numerous times. I think he's being selfish.

Right but your comment said I should “mind my own business.” But then shouldn't you do the same? If minding my own business means not commenting on a news story...why wouldn't you mind your own business and not comment to me?

I’m saying everyone on here has a big problem when it’s a younger woman/older man. The woman is a gold digger and the man is taking advatage of her. That’s what happened on this site with the Kristin Stewart affair and that age difference was far less. It’s gross and weird that because it’s two men everyone is like…

Anyone can die...but to act like a 90 year old isn’t at a greater risk of that is just absurd.

What? All sorts of unhealthy things are not illegal. Seriously if your moral compass depends on legality that's really sad.

It doesn't actually but nice try.

Hahaha what? You think I think my comment on Jezebel will ACTUALLY stop their wedding?!

It's so weird because actually I'm doing the exact same thing you're doing which is: sharing your opinion on a blog. If it bothers you so much you don't have to read the comments.

So are you implying you’re NOT being civil right now? Or you’re one of those people who value civility more than doing the right thing?

Hahaha no no no, I didn't mean to imply that he won't have a dating life once his husband passes. Also I don't think he was arm twisted into staying or putting off having children. Maybe he never wanted kids! But love is also a powerful motivator and I wouldn't feel comfortable as an elderly person thinking someone…

Says no one. But it is a thing you decide sometime in your 20s, 30s, 40s and he's spent that time with someone 50 years old. That colors the conversation much differently than if it were between two people closer in age.

What wild accusations? I think a very old, very wealthy and powerful white man is acting selfishly. That’s hardly a “wild” accusation.

Yeah it’s true. It’s not like with a woman where she has to worry about fertility. I guess it’s also that he will die soon. He talks about how hard it was losing his wife...why would you want someone you supposedly love to go through that in their mid forties? Like I said, the old dude just seems selfish to me. But,…

I don’t even necessarily mean naive, just that a 25 year old doesn’t have the same maturity and life experience as a 35 year old...or a 75 year old. There's an imbalance there. And now that they've been together so long, he's already given up so much for him. That's selfish to me. The older guy has lived a full life,…

You could say that, except I didn’t know his fiancé was black. Only that he was young. The essay didn’t have a picture of them (now that you say that it makes sense that he’s in the pic above). And you’re correct in that what I'm saying takes away some agency from the younger partner, but I think it's disingenuous not…

Maybe. It might be like that. I mean more in that he didn't get to decide if he wanted to start a family. Starting a family with someone in their 70s or 80s, that already has grand children is much different than deciding that with someone closer to your own age. I would never want someone to give that up for me, at…

I'm basing my opinion on the same information you were given. We just see it differently.

Well they got together when he was 24/25. That's why it weirds me out. His entire young adulthood and now adulthood has been spent in a relationship with someone over 70. He's had to give up a lot for this relationship.

I don’t think I did but I haven’t seen it in a few years. If the point wasn’t that 1. You can find love anywhere but 2. You can’t live through someone else, you need to live your own experiences for yourself...then what was it?
