I am 29 years old and my husband is 29. His only friends are in the 15 to 18 year range. They are kids who live on the same block. On occassion they come over to our home and he buys them beer and they all "hang out". I am so uncomfortable around this whole situation.I think its wrong and innappropriate. I also feel like its contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He insist on being friends with them.is this normal???

    Tell him that their parents may take a dimmer view of these "friendships" and will call the cops.

    Anyway, that he has no other friends but plays big shot with minors is sad and disturbing and you do need to put an end to it and get to the root of why he isn't making friends his own age.

    What do their parents think?!

    This is very disturbing. You must ask yourself why on earth would a grown man be making friends with 15-18 year olds and giving them Alcohol. You need to confront him demand to know why he does this. If he doesn't stop, tell the parents. I'm sorry, but your husband sounds like a pervert.

      Yeah I don't think this guy is a pervert. I mean, I don't know, but that's not what would first come to mind. My dad does the same thing, and he's 56. He's always hung out with younger people. Most of his friends right now are in their early 20's and most are quite irresponsible. It's because he's incredibly immature and a complete loser. Adults can easily see this and generally avoid him or dislike him but younger people can't always see this. He enjoys the respect and admiration he gets from younger people, it's something he CAN'T get from people his own age due to his behavior and issues.

      It's probably something similar with this guy. He gets to be 'cool' and the top dog and it's easy on him because they're kids and easily impressed.

        I think this comment makes the most since. None of the op's description makes him sound like a pedophile. Your husband is probablly just immature and cannot make friends his own age.
        Actually I dont see anything wrong with this at all. Personally I have friends my own age but I also get along with teenagers because I never really grew up. People who grow up can sometimes become more boring while people like me just never settle down and need to be around other reckless hyperactive people to keep from feeling bored with life. Its not bad, its just how some peoples personality is.

    All the other comments should be enough, but NO, it is NOT normal.
    Clearly your husband doesn't understand that the teenagers are only with him cause he can supply them with booze (being past the legal age and all)
    Either drop him and run, or - if you want to salvage this situation - talk to him about it, explain that there's probably an ulterior motive as to why the kids are hanging out with him (so they can get piss-wasted), and maybe then introduce him to a couple of people his age :)
    Gluck!

    Sounds normal to me. I know many teachers his age who are friends with teenagers.

    No. NO no no. There is something wrong with him. The kids don't actually like them, they're using him. He needs to find real friends, nearer his age.

    That is incredibly wrong! Please tell their parents or make sure he stops.

    No, it's not normal and if I were you, I'd be VERY suspicious! A guy that age who hangs out with boys is either extremely immature or a pedophile!

    You should divorce him, take all of the money that you both accumulated, and then bang a bunch of dudes.
    I'm super seriously.

    Classic pedophile behavior. Get a divorce.
