I said it on a tik tok and a bunch of strangers started saying my boyfriend was a predator who wanted to date a barely legal woman even though his ex is two years older and he is in good term. Everyone in real life likes him including friends and family and I met him two years ago. I feel really like crap because some people told me I was stupind and they did not have to meet my boyfriend to know my relationship is inherently p3dophilia due to the age. What can I do?

Just ignore them. An age gap isn’t inherently bad. As long as the relationship is healthy and you’re happy, that’s all that matters.
You also weren’t “barely legal.” You were 24. That’s six years past legal.
Tell them that you have know him since you were 13 and there’s NO WAY that he is really a pedo.
Maybe remove those people from your life? And if your referring to people of social media, if it bothers you that much, stop posting/talking about it.
From my experience, MOST people wouldn’t see that age gap as a problem. Of course some will but people are always going to have something to say. A 9 year difference, especially when you’re in your mid 20s isn’t crazy at all.
Thinking about it now, I started dating my GF when she was 20 and I was 28. She was then, and is now, the more mature half of the relationship. She pursued me and both of us are very happy.
Do not mention your boyfriend’s age on TikTok.
Unfortunately, stupid people are going to stupid. You can only deny them the opportunity to aim at you.
If you care what other people think then it’s a problem
its tiktok lmao
never take anything from that app seriously
