Depends on what the standards for decent are, I guess. He has a great job, has money, is hardworking. Personality wise I find him tiring. He’s the kind of person who’s constantly going: “what me to help with that, need me to do anything, so what’s up”, etc etc. Suffocating. But at the same time I can feel he means well. He’s very generous and willing to lend a hand 24/7. He’s a strict non drinker (apparently because his dad was a major alcoholic), non smoker - which I like, I feel like he’s a good influence regarding vice avoidance. I can see that my daughter is very happy being with him. She used to be kind of shy and insecure but now has come out of her shell a lot, she has become very extroverted and confident. He’s her “hype guy” regarding university studies and career.
I’m extremely close with her. Have always been. She has the same kind of relationship with her mom as well. She feels comfortable enough to talk openly with us about absolutely anything. I asked her the same question myself. She says she never thought about the age, they just “vibed”. To be honest, from their interactions he doesn’t have a “father figure” thing going on at all. He’s kind of childish for his age. I personally feel like I’m interacting with a younger brother when we’re together, not a man 1 year older than me.
