Re: Age Gap Question

[(Anonymous)]

It's WAY less of an issue once the younger party is an adult with life experience/money-- and that's different for different people. Someone who made it big somehow at a young age and won't be financially dependent on an older partner, and who has seen something of the world isn't in the same position as someone who was more sheltered, or who can't support themselves.

There was a relationship with a sizable age gap in my family, between two people who met as adults and had similar interests, education, same general field, compatible outlooks on life. And like... yes, when you enter into a relationship with a much older partner, you take into account what it's going to be like to outlive them and all that, but accidents and illnesses happen to people all the time and people can be widowed at any age. I know secondhand that it's very possible for a relationship like that to be built on mutual trust and respect, and for the families of the couple to approve and view it as totally normal-- why wouldn't two adults who are in the same field and have the same hobbies want to see each other socially, and why couldn't those two people hit it off even if they're not the same age?


As for fictional couples... whether or not there's an age gap is not something I tend to think about, tbh. There's a ship I don't like where the age gap is the kind of minor thing that romeo and juliet laws are for, there's another ship where one character is 50+ years older than the other and I ship it like crazy. And I get why the age gap is a factor for people who don't like one or the other, but like... for me it's a question of chemistry, of whether I think two characters are good for each other... occasionally if I think they're bad for each other in an entertaining way, but the big age gap ship is one where I think they're the best people for each other.
