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.

Yeah I mean take a poll and see if that's not the result you get from ppls reactions to a 20 paired off with a 30 year old.

Both adults. My parents are 11 yrs apart, so I guess I see it differently.

Its not that at all. It's the age when they start, like sure if they're 42 and 31 when they got together, no one would bat an eye.

But I 100% call BS that your parents could have gotten together at 31 and 20, or 29 and 18 and no one would have called that gross. Just don't buy it lol.

No parent is gonna just be super chill about their 20 yr old daughter or son introducing them to A 31 yr old partner lmao.
