    I watched a bit of the video, and am glad they are seemingly happy in their relationship.

    I think context always matters in this situation, but I can't deny being suspicious of the older person's intentions. Especially when the person is fairly young. Paying rent/legally drinking for a few years isn't necessarily an indicator of being super mature, though outliers certainly exist.

    All I can really say is from my own experience, which is that I am a majorly different person than I was around 19-21. Every year I have grown and realized shortcomings and immaturity that was present in the year before. I can't help but feel uneasy about someone in their mid to late 30s or even older being interested in someone who is somewhat freshly on their own.

    I think there are always exceptions and I also think the older you get, the less the age difference matters. Maturing definitely slows after 25-30, but does not disappear. I think we can all agree that the situation with Leonardo de caprio is weird and gross, and that kind of relationship exists all over the place.

    Idk, just putting my thoughts down ab this
