I have to echo what rocinante said. I have been almost seven years in a relationship with a much older man, which started when I was 15. There were some twisted circumstances going on in our lives then, and I ended up moving out that same year, and all I could say to the critics was "time will tell". And it has. There are exceptions to every rule. But it's like anything else... huge age gaps and/or relationships with a teenager can turn out wonderfully or go horribly, horribly wrong.
