like the guy was 19 and the girl was 14

Now the guy is 66 and the girl is 61, they've been together for 47 years and happily married for 36 years.

I see this all the time at the retirement homes and it feels wrong but like... what can you do about it?

Do you really "see this all the time" in nursing homes? I'm skeptical.

What TC is doing is trying to get people to be more ok with the idea of 19 year olds and 14 year olds dating.

Well if it's not illegal then he'd have nothing to get arrested for.

My first time encountering this, I was staying with a host family in Germany for week in high school. The brother in the family was 25, his girlfriend (or fiancee? I don't remember) was 20 and they had been dating for 5 years. At first I was like, "Wow that was quite the age difference!" but then I realized they were older and happy so it wasn't that bad.

Well if it's not illegal then he'd have nothing to get arrested for.

There is that to consider. Age-of-consent laws do change from time to time, but they generally do not change backward in time (in the US they actually can't, because of the ex post facto clause of the Constitution). Whether their relationship would be illegal if people of those ages carried it out today is irrelevant, if such a relationship was legal at the time they actually carried it out.

Tell them this: "in a better world, you two would not have found true love and happiness."

You don't see a problem with people fucking horses. You may not have the best perspective.

As long as they're happy together, that's all that matters. Leave them be. People make things seem worse than it really is.
