Beware the lollipop of Mediocrity - Lick it once and You'll Suck Forever.

OK so how old is too old? How young is too young?

 

 Yesterday I had lunch with an old friend. I don't mean that she's old, only that I've known her for a long time. "Me know you looong time". She told me of her new lover, a man twenty years her senior. She is evidently very much in love with him, it lights her up to talk about him. I was very happy to see her so happy as she has had some miserable experiences with the opposite sex (not me of course, she looooved me.   )

 

 She mentioned that she has had some resistance from her family though not from her friends and it got me to wondering. I have no issues with older/younger relationships, goodness knows I've dated girls waaaaaay younger than me. I wonder what other people think about such things? Do you have any problems with relationships that involve age gaps of 5, 10 or even 20 years? What about 30 years? If you do have issues with it then why? What are your objections?

 

 Do her family have any right to object to this relationship? She is after all in her thirties, at what age do your family just have to shut and sit down? She is so upset that she can't tell them because they will disown her. Personally if my family disowned me, I'm not sure I'd mind.

 

 Let me offer you two scenarios:

1- An 18 year old girl with a 45 year old man.

2- An 18 year old guy with a 45 year old woman.

 

Opinions?
