I don't see why the age difference is such a big deal. I really really don't. And I don't see where people are getting all these "daddy complex" things either.

Could I be enlightened on this one? I'm not mad, I'm just curious as a person who likes the ship.

It's the combination of a number of things that pushes it into 'er...' territory for me - the mentor-protegee thing (which is um at the best of times), the both-of-them-don't-really-have-social-lives thing (few other friends equals no social safety net, also intensifying the few social bonds they each have and means there's nobody to administer any needed reality checks), the no-visible-family thing (again, a lack of safety net and reality check; also, depending on why there's no family, could indicate emotional need for a replacement family figure), the co-workers thing (usually a no-no), and on top of that the age thing... any single one or two of these issues could be dealt with. It's the concatenation that draws for me a rather disturbing picture, of an attraction with its roots in loneliness and a drawing to archetypes rather than personalities on both sides, and a relationship built upon convenience and mutual need, requiring secrecy and silence, rather than an openly acknowledged affection.

I think what's most disturbing is that yes, this could be a good relationship, if. If they didn't have to hide it. If they had other friends who could tell them when they were getting in too deep. If they weren't as dependent on each other in their professional lives.
