It is so typical of women generally that we can recognise we were in inappropriate relationships but still blame ourselves for it. He was THIRTY, Megan. you were just out of childhood. It wasn’t your fault you were “not a great girlfriend”.

She probably thought she was ready for a relationship and...wasn't. As the more experienced adult, he should have known better.

Like most of us at 18, 19, 25, 33, 43, 56, 69, 90 , 101

also these big age gap relationships always have the younger party claim they were the ones pursuing (even when they’re like 14) to the point that I kind of don’t really believe it anymore lol.

I know some of them are being coached to say this so their predator bfs don’t get in trouble!!

[goldenhera]

I fully believe it because we all had crushes on someone older! The older person is supposed to shut it down though and not be a creep, lol.

I wanted to pursue a moped/scooter and dyeing my hair black when I was her age. My parents stopped me. Their role as adults.

what a stupid comment

[looneyboy83]

about as stupid as all her relationships

[healthypanda]

Right? I'm not proud of my emotional immaturity in my early relationships; I wasn't a great girlfriend either, but at least my partners were age-appropriate. I remember being maybe 22 or 23 and this 18-year-old guy had a crush on me. Even THEN I was like, "Oh no, this guy is sweet, but is way too young" and shut that down. I side-eye the fuck of out of him for getting with her when he was a grown-ass adult and she was barely one.

And yet I have met men, including men I went on dates with, who have told me "age is a number" and that they would date teenagers if they felt a real connection with them. Luckily that one guy I cut off all contact with, but he was 31! I had brought up a story that I'd found out reading about some D list actor's IRL relationship with a teenager when he was 35 (who would later become his wife and mother of his kids, including one born when she was 19) and he was like, "So?"

ugh I was listening to a podcast and one of the hosts told an anecdote from when he was a community college professor and the other host brought the conversation to one of whether it would be ethical for a professor to sleep with a student. the guy who had been a prof was like "uh, no, I was in my thirties and most of my students were barely out of high school, and even if they weren't that would've been pretty weird - MAYBE after the class is over, if they're older, but it would have to be a very unique circumstance in that case" and the other guy was like "what, if they're 18 you don't think that's fine? they're adults! it's college!" and was just completely not getting it. not the age gap, not the teacher/student dynamic, not at all. he even called in the producer who normally isn't on a mic to weigh in on her opinion. it was just so fucking weird that he wanted so badly to opine on this and never displayed even a smidgen of self-awareness even jokingly!

It's likely further complicated by how she was being treated on sets, too. She was treated like an 'adult' by creeps, so she probably felt like she was, and even now, those feelings cloud the reality of the situation.

[steffi_333]

100% agree. Being sexualised from a young age (which in my mind is a form of abuse) has to impact a child’s developing mind.

[drunkard]

I wonder if she's trying to be careful/tactful too. She has a relationship with this man for life through their children. Maybe she doesn't want her kids later reading an interview where she confirms that he's a gross scumbag. I hope that's it and that she actually knows she was never to blame, not even for a little bit of it.
