cahnIn the previous post Charles II found AITA:
Look, I, m, believe in live and let live. (And in not going on my travels again. Had enough of that to last a life time.) Why can't everyone else around me be more chill? Instead, my wife refuses to employ my girlfriend, my girlfriend won't budge and accept another office, my brother is set on a course to piss off everyone (he WILL go on his travels again), and my oldest kid shows signs of wanting my job which is just not on, sorry to say. And don't get me started about Mom (thank God she's living abroad). What am I doing wrong? AITA?

what appeals to me about this craziest of Frederician ships in general - they come across as equals in all regards
Yes! That's so true -- what squicks me out about age gaps is the power differential, and that just super isn't a factor in this ship. (I imagine this is also why I tend to very much prefer my loyalty relationships as platonic or UST rather than as a straight ship -- though in this case, loyalty relationships are so my jam that I'm willing to put up with the power differential in the ship if I have to. But they never really are my OTP, whereas the platonic or UST-y versions are often my favorites.)
