Isn't there people who like younger men /women even in modern times and likes older women/man?? I'm pretty sure the part that they don't like is the fact that they got married when the boy was still 16 which is where the timeline comes in and that's like legal age alrdy during that timeline. It was normal to marry young in older times -, -
A you kidding? Who is teleophil in this story? FL who doesn't see ML as a man even when he is 20 y.o? And what is so weird about a younger guy chasing after mature woman if he finds her beautiful and attractive? Or do you really think he should have considered her as "mother" only because she is much older? She didn't raise him. He was 15 y o teenager, not a little kid who needs mommy, when they met. I am really appalled by comments like yours.
This story is about a teenage boy who was asked to be a husband for the sake of stopping harassment yet for some reason decided to like the adult cuz "She treats me kindly" (like most teenage boys actually do irl). Now now don't be disappointed because you see comments saying this is grooming. Definitely teleiophilia not grooming. This is a good read for people that wants to see how he pursue an adult woman who clearly only sees him as a child. Also be open minded when reading this since the setting is dated for long time ago scenario where a guy is already adult by age 16 and 21 for female.
