I get so angry at those people. It’s not about just number of years you are apart and you know it. It’s where those years fall and the fact that being a fan of yours changes the power dynamic.
My wife is 4 years and 1 week older than me. It’s not a huge age gap, no. But we were both adults when we got together. Basically the only difference between us when we got together was that she had a better work history than I did and had better job prospects because of it. But then the age gap we have is jarring sometimes because of where it falls. We’re both millennials but she’s closer to Gen X and I’m closer to Gen Z and my Gods do I make her feel old sometimes.
That’s the difference. Is 5 years a big gap? Not if you’re both adults in similar stages in your lives. But if one of you is still in high school and the other is a YouTuber they’re a fan of? Yes! That’s a huge gap then!
