And often acts like a bunch of 3-year-olds.

Riiiight. With the conversation all being around the US, I'd assumed your girlfriend was the one in the US. That's very different then and frankly, bollocks to those in the US. So many of them believe the AoC is 18 nationwide so there opinion really doesn't belong in the conversation. If your relationship is legal in Romania and your families are happy, I'd wish you two all the luck in the world.

The US is a very big place. I meant specifically since each state has differing laws.

In many instances, such a stipulation is assumed.

No offence, but it doesn't matter what you believe. I'm not going to accuse you of anything some of these people are, just advise you read up on the age of consent where she is and not you. As an American citizen, she's under the jurisdiction of the US. There are many states (the majority actually) where the AoC is lower than 18 just make sure she's in one of them or you could risk being in serious trouble if you ever visited her, even after she's become a legal adult.

Even most states have the AoC lower than 18. ~60 has it at 17 or lower.

That last part isn't necessarily true. It's often seen as a blanket statement that the age of consent in the US is 18 but that's not true for many states. We don't know where OP's girlfriend lives and I'd say it's entirely for the best he doesn’t, but for all we know she lives in one of the ~30 states where the AoC is 16 or the 6 where it's 17.

Why do people eat food they know isn't good for their health? Why do people continue to buy products from companies that have proven to only sell bad products or engage in scumbag practices?

They all have the same answer.
