is 24 and 19 too large of an age gap for a relationship?
so uh, i've found out that my brother had been talking to a guy lately. I haven't learned that until they had been talking for a while, well, the guy that my brother was talking to was 19. he was 24. He seems to be incredibly mature for 19, i almost thought he was my age. and every now and then my brother always talks about him like " oh he really is amazing! " " Oh He's sweet and also an great listener plus, we also really had similar interests! " Im just a bit nervous about their age gap and was hoping for some advice on if I should continue to roll with this or not.
I wouldn't mind that gap as long as those two met when they're both adults.
It's no problem as long as the other person ain't a minor or just turned 18 1 reply
5 years isn't that big of an age gap, and since they've only been talking recently, there's no cause for concern. If they met when the younger one was 15 tho, then yeah that's weird. But, he's already 19 and legally an adult. reply
no it isn't. not inherently. at these ages their life circumstances and power dynamic matter more. i'm 21 rn. if i encountered this relationship - i can't lie i would think it's a bit weird/suspicious - but ultimately i would leave it be. reply
If I was in your position and my brother was into a 19 year old when he was 24, I would’ve trusted him to do the right thing because I know who he is as a person. As for your brother, I don’t know anything him. How has he been in past relationships? Is he patient? Will he introduce you to this guy in the future? If he does, pay attention to how...... 1 reply
