Your kid marries a much older person for money; how do you manage? (lemmy.world)

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not asking for a friend, I’m asking for myself. Our daughter (24) married this man (65) in September. She herself stated money was the main reason, and he knows it but it doesn’t bother him. Both my husband & I are having a very hard time getting used to the idea.

Lmao just because he has more money doesn't make it findom. That feels like a pretty wild leap to make without more info.

OP said that money is the "main reason" for their relationship. It's not really that much of a leap at all.

I mean trophy wifes have been a thing for a long time - you've got actors like DeCaprio moving on to younger wives like clockwork.

Idk, it just seems like a stretch to assume the younger, poorer partner is the one in control. I'm not saying its for sure not the case but it wouldn't be my first guess.
