When Age Gaps Cross the Line: My Brother’s Dilemma
Love knows no bounds—or does it? My younger brother, 22, just started dating a 16-year-old girl. I told him it’s not right; she’s still in high school, and he’s out in the world. Instead of listening, he called me a hypocrite because last year, I dated a man twice my age. Sure, I was 24 and my guy was 50, but I was an adult making my own choices. My brother insists our situations are the same, but I can’t shake the feeling that he’s missing the point. Am I being too harsh, or is there a real difference between dating across generations as an adult and dating a minor? Sometimes, being the older sibling feels like walking a tightrope with no net. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 🤔💬
