How would an age gap affect a relationship?
Here’s an article I found if you’d like to read it.
However, I’ve also heard theories that involve things… a bit of a condescending nature. Now, I don’t necessarily agree with this, so don’t think that I’m endorsing this! I’m simply conveying this information to you, as something to consider. All right? I have heard that sometimes, older individuals who date/seek relationships with younger individuals often don’t feel like they ought to date people of their own age because of insecurities. Usually, this has to do with maturity— something along the lines of, “Oh, if I go for someone younger, they won’t realize I’m no good because they’re immature.” Now, if something like insecurities is the main force behind a relationship’s age gap, I think it’d be a good idea to seek counseling. For the older individual, they aren’t giving their all— and it’s not not necessarily fair to the younger individual. In no way am I suggesting this is occurring if you are in a relationship with someone who has a large difference in age; nor do I think this happens in all relationships with couples with large age gaps. It’s just food for thought, okay? And if something like that does happen, I think that would make for a weak relationship— so it’s something to consider.
As that article I linked you to says, though: If two people are lucky enough people find each other, it usually will not matter at which point in life they do so. When it comes to love, age is just a number.
