Editing Grover Cleveland (section)

===Frances Cleveland===
The other major sexual controversy pertaining to Grover Cleveland actually involves the woman who became his wife, Frances Folsom. At the time the two were married, Folsom was 28 years younger that Cleveland was. While this fact alone is troubling in itself, the truly disturbing part about their relationship was that it began as, essentially, a surrogate father-daughter relationship. Cleveland had known Folsom literally since she was a baby, and as a child, she referred to him as "Uncle Cleve." He told her he wanted to marry her when she was 8, and told his friends that the reason he was still a bachelor was because he was "waiting for his bride to grow up." This borders on pedophilia. Though he waited until he was 21 to marry her, it cannot be denied that the way their relationship began is quite disturbing.
