Aw, this is really cute. I wish them all of the happiness. She has been through absolute hell and back, not just with the Nassar abuse, but her own abusive coach, too. (And the general fuckery of USAG.) I'm glad she is a coach now, and can continue to positively influence the gymnastics world.
He met her when she was 11 or 12 and then started dating when she was 15/16 and he was 20/21. The age differences & life experiences between them. I want her to be happy but I also wish that she had been able to date other people and form what it is that she likes or dislikes before committing to one dude that she knew when she was 15/16 and he was able to drink
( ... )
If they started dating in 2016, she was 21, not 15/16? She met him when she was 16 (2011) and started dating him at 21 (2016). Don’t disagree about doing it on a day for her, but there is def a difference in her dating him at 16 and 21 versus 21 and 26.
She met him when she was 16 (2011) and started dating him at 21 (2016).
. . .I was doing mental math and I was counting from 2001 to 2006. And even after reading the 5 years, I was confused because of the math. Now if it was money, I can multiply, subtract, add and all that shit. But anything else. . .no.
Jordyn mentioned in one of the articles that she and her siblings all live in different places now, so part of me wants to give him the benefit of the doubt and think that he wanted to propose at a time when her whole family was gathered so that they could all celebrate with her afterward.
But I totally agree that piggybacking a proposal onto something else is not cool. I can't stand when people propose on birthdays, holidays, graduations, or other occasions. Why can't you let the proposal remain separate from all of that other stuff?
The other thing that made me kind of side eye him was that she said he flew in and surprised her. I can tell you that if my significant other who I'd been dating for five years was being inducted into any sort of hall of fame, I would be there with them to be supportive (and doubly so if we were both involved in the same sport).
