That blog is the cringest thing I've ever read, it reads like a young teenagers diary!
I can't believe it's written by an adult.

Ah crossed posted, but completely agree!Today’s caption, grateful for Benpedalo but the traits she lists being ‘takes photos’ and ‘carries all our stuff’. 100% reading here at this point!
She did delete it but she is mentioning vaguely the trouble at the beginning of their relationship at the start of this Q&A post (also full of gems!):
I think the majority of her friends are from school and I suspect once those friends start having families, there will be less time for the cosy little get togethers such as the cringey ‘Galantines’.Reading through that eye rolling Q&A blog boast posting... good god. I'd forgotten about that but then anything she posted, just seemed to roll all into one. It just affirms what an uber I know better, know-it-all control freak of gigantic proportions hole she is. Living a stepford wife bubble with the pandering peeado accountant/property developer extraordinaire/self taught can put his hand to anything etc. She really comes across as an utter cnut and I'm shocked she has... or is that had, any friends at school/university because surely everyone was beneath her.
What is the consensus on her actual age when they met? She suggests it is 15 and then got together 18 months later so 16.5 ish maybe 17.
Her dates based on that blog post indicate she was 14 (she writes in 2017 and is born in 1993 and says they've known each other for 10 years) and that they waited 18 months that would make her 15.5 or I hope 16. What was he doing for 18 months as a 25/26 year old man writing letters etc...they had a first date where he bought her a pearl bracelet! What in the disney/debutante fantasy of a child was going on?
I know this has been discussed a 1000 times, I think I've checked myself once before. But it never fails to shock me. It is really quite incredible.
She says she was old for age but mentions getting rat arsed with her nan in new york. I'm so confused. Would the real Becky please stand up?
It was ‘over ten years ago’ in 2017. Pretty sure someone here worked the dates out and she had just turned 14. Those 2 years spent writing to each other before they could be together ‘properly’ are him grooming her
Also I forgot he’d done volunteer teaching in Africa 
He’s just over a decade older - at the actual point of meeting she was 13 and he was 24. He was an adult helper on her Year 8 school trip.
I love that as much as she tried to bury this blog post, it continues to haunt her. And of all the photos she had to choose when talking about their Disney-esque "unexplained connection" she chooses one which looks like the can't bear to touch each other. Weirdos.
Hehe
I can see why she deleted it. It's both unintentionally horrifying and hilarious.
'It's funny though isn't it how now nobody is really bothered by the age gap at all. Yet if it was the other way round, if I was 10 years older than Ben then everybody would call me a cougar!'
There certainly is a name for people like Ben!!!
She really was wasn’t she?I’ve heard the story so many times but it never fails to make me feel physically sick. She was groomed!
Her parents have enabled it too (presumably because she stamped her flippers until they complied) if my teenage daughter bought home a MAN ten years older than her there is no way it would be accepted and she’d be grounded, and he would be reported to the police. I feel sorry for Bentos when she gets to her early teens and realises her parents got together when her mum was that ageShe really was wasn’t she?
My youngest is 13. I would honestly be arrested if a man showed any interest in her. I told my 3 about Grabbys ‘love story and I’m proud to say they were absolutely horrified. So many questions…..Her parents have enabled it too (presumably because she stamped her flippers until they complied) if my teenage daughter bought home a MAN ten years older than her there is no way it would be accepted and she’d be grounded, and he would be reported to the police.
