A mother expresses disapproval of her 23-year-old daughter's serious relationship with a 40-year-old man. While the mother initially supported her daughter's happiness, she grew concerned about the significant age difference and the daughter's life stage. The mother finds it inappropriate and worries for her daughter’s future. She seeks advice on how to communicate her worries without damaging their relationship. The advice emphasizes understanding, reinforcing love, and acknowledging that while age gaps can work, they can also lead to challenges.
"Remind your daughter that you love her and you're here for her. You are not wrong to have some concerns."
"People who feel they are in love rarely listen to criticism about their relationship. That goes double for young adults and their parents."
