Did Walt start dating Skyler while she was underage?


Skyler is at least 11 years younger than Walt as she tells Marie she's not looking forward to turning 40 after Walt's 50th birthday. The story of them meeting was that Walt would visit the restaurant Skyler worked at after class and thats how they started dating. So unless Walt was in college for 10 years, doesn't that mean Skyler was underage when they started dating? Not by much but still.

INTERESTING POINT...IF THE NUMBERS YOU PRESENT ARE CORRECT,THEN IT WOULD SEEM SO...IT HAPPENS...ALTHOUGH IT DOESNT ALWAYS LEAD TO A RELATIONSHIP...SOMETIMES JUST JAIL.

IIRC, in S03 when Skyler goes to the divorce lawyer, she says they've been married 15 years, which would have made her 24 -25 at that time. Now, the timeline on their courtship before marriage isn't very clear but it seems to have not been very long, so no, I don't think she was underage when they met.

I think it was the restaurant Skylar was working at after her university classes, not the other way around.

If Walt was in a doctorate program, I'd guess he could be in school for a while.

Isn't it well established throughout the series that Walter White is a dangerous felon?

Where do you draw the line?

Born on August 11, 1970, Skyler Lambert studied accounting and met Walter White while she was working in a restaurant near the Los Alamos National Laboratory (where Walter worked at the time).
