I have been a marriage/relationship counselor for 20 years.
I recently counseled someone in a relationship with someone of the opposite sex, 20 years younger.
He is 39 and she is 19. I seem to think it is morally and ethically wrong and told him so.
Wait! before you judge me (OR NOT--Or make a decision)
Here are my reasons:
1. Why is this man who is 39 dating a 19 year old. Can't he date someone his own age?
2. Why is a girl (young Lady) who is only 19 years old dating a man twice her age.
3. The age difference may not seem like much now, but they want to get married. In ten years she will be 29 years young and he 49. In 15 years she will be only 34 BUT he will be 54 years old, almost 60!
I just feel that someone of this age has seen much more in this world and is well experienced in Life and able to take advantage of a 19 year old quite easily.
Young people, I'm curious, tell me what you think. I want to get a feel for what young people are thinking
