Why do most of my family support my cousin and her fiancé’s 13 year age gap. They’re trying to make me feel I like the bad guy for being “judgement”.

I personally don’t agree with their age gap and dating but I’m happy for her no matter. My cousin is 31 and her fiancé is 44. He already has two kids from his previous marriage (16 and 12). I mean they’re an amazing couple. I told my cousins it was kind of weird of something that is 40 something years old and it’s bad enough. They looked shocked of what I said. My brother said, “Oh come on. It’s not THAT bad. They’re both adults so they’re in love and that’s all that matters. There’s couples that do that too. My friends aunt is 10 years younger than her husband and they were 23 and 33 when they met.”
But I said, “I don’t know. It’s still weird. She should date someone her own age.” My sister said, “It’s not weird (my name). Don’t be so judgmental. It’s okay to have an opinion, but they don’t care about your opinion and you need to just be happy for them.”
I was angry that they didn’t agree with me. 44 is too old for a 31 year old woman! Some people say I need to stop being judgmental and it isn’t so bad. Just be happy for them.

They're both adults. They both consent. It's entirely their own choice. If its not your preference, then don't date someone that much older than you. But, really, your opinion on their relationship makes no difference, so best to just be happy for them and accept that its entirely their own choice without judgement. Your dating preferences have nothing to do with theirs.

I'm with "Some people". If they are happy, their age difference means nothing.

@Ontheroad I understand and I am happy for them but their age difference is weird. Should they be dating someone their own ages?

@LaylaTheTallGirl No, they should be dating someone they want to date and love. Sounds as if they are and therefore, it isn't weird.
Every relationship is different. Once you hit 25-30 what other's think about that doesn't matter

@Justafantasy okay fine. My older half siblings are 35 and 39.
