An expert has revealed the consequences of relationships in which a woman is significantly older than her chosen one.
Psychologist-consultant Anastasia Bystrova shared a comment on this topic.
In a conversation with NEWS.ru, she named several features of romances with older women for men.
In such relationships, guys undermine their independence and slow down their own personal development.
In this case, the affair leads to the emergence of a man's dependence on the woman.
This is a typical situation when the chosen one is perceived as a replacement for the mother, the psychologist explained.
Such men have a decreased sense of personal responsibility and do not develop their own skills and personal qualities.
There is a significant risk of getting stuck in the status of a “mama’s boy”.
For women, such relationships also have their consequences.
This model of relationships imposes some restrictions on the development of the lady herself as an individual.
The whole point is that a woman has to fulfill not only the role of a partner, but also an emotional guardian, the psychologist summed up.
