For me, it's not the age gap so much as maturity gap and, more importantly, the power differential. When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I didn't have my shit together in any way nor did I have a good level of maturity and self-confidence.

The power differential between one in their 40s or 50s (hell, even 30s) and late-teens/early-twenties means that healthy relationships are the exception, not the norm.
