Age Gaps or Power Gaps? The Dark Side of Dating Older
Offline Thoughts by Nessa Kwizera
Episode notes
Age gap relationships have existed since the dawn of time. There are many appeals for both parties - often the younger partner is looking for financial provision and protection, and the older partner is looking to hold onto their youth for a little longer. Whilst they're not necessarily always inherently predatory - they often are. Sometimes the younger partner only comes to realise this years later, long after the damage has been done.
