My grandfather graduated from high school at age 16 in the depths of the Great Depression.
His English teacher helped him earn a scholarship at a “teachers’ college.”
Oh yeah……Grandad and that English teacher had been having an affair and sexual relationship for a year or so. The teacher was 19-21. He always had a smile in his voice reminiscing about her.
It definitely was a different era.
I’m hoping OG is in his 70’s or 80’s; and, his grandmother was 80+ when OG was born. One hundred and sixty years ago was 1865.
A 32 year-old marrying a 12 year-old (I’m assuming OG’s grandparents were married) is disgusting. I don’t care when it was. No 12 year-old wants to have sex with a 32 year-old. To a 12 year-old, 30+ is OLD.
And, a 32 year-old doesn’t have sex with a 12 year-old. He rapes her.
