Yeah true

...I think for me it would only seem that/'ick' from a parent view but it won't be the same for Cheryl because she's not viewed him that way...more just, well he was just a dumb 14yr back then and completely different...(I'm not Cheryl's biggest fan..)...but I don't see her knowing him since he was 14yrs old as being anything odd or ick...

...some partners have known each other from almost birth, she just happens to have been born 10yrs before him....

Yeah but when they met he was a child and she was an adult, that's the difference

..yeah I see that but she didn't actually think of him in terms of being a partner/sexually until he was in his twenties, which is how I'm seeing it...had she liked him sexually when he was 14yrs old, that would definitely be off for me...he was probably just some geeky kid to her until he got older and became, wow look at you Liam.....

..I mean, I do admit that I couldn't see it in the same way as it would be for her, it just wouldn't be possible because I'm a mum and I could never think..(at any age..)...of any friends of my sons, in any way other than maternal...(or anyone their age, which is in their twenties, like Liam...mind you..(that could have sounded dodgy..)..I couldn't look at anyone that way PERIOD, except Mr A...
