There are some concerns with age gaps. 28 dating 58 is much different than 18 dating 48. The 28 year old has likely had time to develop as an adult and likely has their own independence. A lot of the younger people I’ve met in age gap relationships have a history of sexual abuse, trauma, and poor independence (either financial or other). At that point it starts being more like a groomer relationship IMO.
Lol. The ragebait worked. We have been sucked into the controversial topic.
As the other commenter noted, the problem isnt the age gap itself - it is the manipulation and abuse. Without that… I don’t see a problem. As an example, for a while I was casually seeing a girl who was 21 while I was 33. I communicated what I wanted, she communicated what she wanted, and we had a good time together. When she started seeing me, she had recently broken up with a bf who was the same age as me, and then after she broke things off with me (she wanted something more serious and I didn’t - but we’re still friends), she started dating a guy who was older than me. They seem happy together, and I hang out with them sometimes - but my point is, like, she had a type, lol

Found the groomer
lol
True, but in those cases it’s not the age gap in itself that’s the problem. They are just a symptom of a bigger issue.
