[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the younger woman once. At the time I felt it was nbd, after all I was an adult. We seemed similarly matched, etc. looking back at my 23 yr.-old self, I had no idea what I was doing. There was a power imbalance in that relationship. It was emotionally abusive, I was financially beholden, and I stayed too long because of those things. It’s just one anecdote, and a lot of other young women have it together better than I did, but perhaps that’s why these age mismatches give some people pause.[/quote] This is sometimes, but not always the case. When I was 21, I dated a newly minted tenure-track professor, then 32 (same age difference highlighted in the OP). Tremendous power imbalance, borne mostly of the disparity in life experiences. You just don’t know what you don’t know at that age.[/quote]
