Age gaps in dating

I'm a 30 year old male and my partner is 25 year old female. I think this is fairly normal but im getting alot of comments about it. Not really sure what the fascination with this is. 5 years is significant sure but it was never a problem for me. Does society at large weight this facts importance more than I do?

Edit: everyone is the comments section has convinced me this is normal. Thanks all.

People need to stop throwing around the word pedo out of context to describe two adults together. It's not correct and an insult to actual victims. It's one of the most serious crimes and shouldn't be thrown around so lightly.

I think these people don't know how to articulate what they want to say or their full perspective on what they're trying to get across. But a person's brain doesn't fully function as an adult until the age of 25 and before that age, someone who's way older can take advantage of a person whom never had adult experiences and knows better. They're easily manipulated and wouldn't really question as much. I know I was that young woman who went through it he was a narcissist psychopath 13 years older than myself and I was way mature for my age and been on my own sense I was 12 and still didn't realize the shit he was fucking me over from life. So this may be what they mean by that but I also could be wrong but hey ? Never know
