When you are in a relationship you always have to “date” or else it just becomes all about the grind. I suspect that's probably what this is. Weekly date night is a great idea. Doesn't need to cost anything if you don't have a lot of money. Picnics, hikes….anything that you like to do that allows you to focus on each other
Any man who says it's fine because you were 18 when you met, is really saying he would gladly be with you if you were even younger. He's saying “this is the bare minimum age I am allowed to date and I'm being stopped by the law, not my own inhibitions.”
It was very wrong for your mom to say 'she will never be her daughter.' That made this a do-or-die situation for the other mom. She had an opportunity to be the adult in the room and de-escalate an emotional situation, but she chose to say probably the worst thing you could in the situation, which blew it up. The only solution is to get your mom to apologize for saying such a hurtful thing.
Her mothers insecurity will stay with her forever, she will have memories of her whole childhood of her mother questioning and doubting you and she will have a really nude time having a healthy romantic relationship with anyone because she’s being conditioned to think what you both are doing is acceptable behavior. Your partner is abusive. You may think it’s harmless what what she did today shows it isn’t.
She didn’t even stop and think, she attacked you and your daughter. You are enabling. You BOTH are creating an extremely unhealthy environment for your daughter, your wife is definitely the abuser but you are enabling it. Stop it. For you, for your daughter, and honestly even your partner. Tell her she needs therapy and if she won’t go leave and take your daughter with you.
Listen I get wanting to take violent revenge on those who wronged you, but they wronged YOU, not him, so he doesn't get to decide how you do things. Sometimes blocking them and moving on really is the best approach.
The other couple misread you guys. No biggie. Just move on as if it never happened. All are adults so no harm, no foul.
This is rape.

Sounds like you need to drop a 22 year old child's worth of deadweight.
Does she have insurance- a copay would be worth it, 100x
However, take it from an old lady who’s seen this movie before – you can’t date potential. I’ve done it, my friends have done it – never works.
I second this. We all learned this lesson the nude way, so don't feel dumb.

Please tell us you broke up. And if he asked why I’d be super petty and say you told your friends he had bigger parts as well and it wasn’t true. Ha.
Well that escalated quickly.

Sounds like she's recruiting for a Jesus cult.
