Psychological and social factors that might contribute to a 19-year-old woman's relationship with a 42-year-old man

While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn said the pair may be "suitable" for one another; however, in other cases, it may be due to "daddy issues."

"The 19-year-old woman is looking for a “daddy” type figure: the sugar daddy or blesser concept. An older man is likely to be more established in life, earn more, and be able to provide material goods that a younger man won’t be able to. The young woman can get the material goods she wants, and the older man can have a much younger woman in his arms," she explained.

Penny says that when there is such a huge age gap in a relationship, although the individuals involved may be "genuinely in love," it may also be difficult to maintain these types of relationships.

The psychologist listed these version reasons why it may be challenging to hold a big age gap in relationships:

• The energy levels will differ, even more so as they get older. Young women are likely to have more energy and want to have adventures, while older men won’t be able to keep up.
• They may have interests in common, But they will have grown up in different time periods and experienced different aspects of life, making it hard for each one to identify with the likes and interests of the other.
• They could battle with friendships: Friends tend to be around one’s age, especially when we are young. Social gatherings could be difficult.
• Society could make things difficult. With such a big age gap, people will judge and look for reasons why they should not be together. No matter how in love you are, it is difficult to have a relationship when those around you frown on it.
