Oh dear. I didn't want to spoil your pleasure on cross-gen, honestly!
As a matter of fact, I commented on other literary cross-gen couples in an older post, going on about how in L.M. Montgomery's Emily series Dean Priest's (36) obsession with Emily (12) squicked me. In that context, I also mentioned Col. Brandon's obsession with Marianne ;-)
Actually, I never used to have that problem when I was younger. The older I grow, however, the more the idea of grown man - young girl repels me. It's a question of perspective: I find it all right for my 27-year-old friend to be involved with a 47-year-old man, but if my 27-year-old friend got himself a 16-year-old girlfriend, I would be bemused and wonder whether he can't cope with a woman his age.
