What makes it worse is when the relationship is between a woman’s childhood best friend and her Father and I saw that first hand when my Wife’s best friend dated her Father before he passed away and strange doesn’t begin to describe that relationship and how it affected my Wife. She was already used to him sleeping with women younger than her not to mention his drunken antics where she had to pick him up at 3 or 4 am after he had passed out naked but dating her best friend was what crossed the line for her.
My Father In Law was basically like a second Dad to my Wife’s best friend and he knew her when she was a little girl and even though they weren’t blood related it was kind of like some weird incestuous relationship you only hear about happening in Boganville. When I see relationships between a young woman and a much older man I am instantly reminded of that now and while not all of them are like that it still looks wrong and unusual to me.

This is all understandable given the facts and the specifics, but, it is not even really YOUR going ewww. Your post
only references your wife's opinion as well as the assumptions of the people you know. Unless you have a very wide social circle, these assumptions are very skewed. . There is no opinion that is held personally by you and that has been borne out of a your own experience. Sort of a vicarious take on things.
