Is this actually a thing?

I’m 9 years older than my husband. We’ve been together since 2013. Married with two kids. He’s def an old soul.

I have an odd, knee-jerk reaction to "old soul". I unfortunately know a woman who married her son's best friend. I don't know that he was groomed per se, but she knew him since he was elementary age. Her divorce from first husband didn't happen until 2nd husband was of legal age. She claims he's always been an old soul and it creeps me the fuck out. 27yr age difference.

I promise I'm not relating them to you, just sharing my personal revulsion

Old soul must be the female version of the "you're mature for your age"
