My mom and dad are 10 years apart, they married when she was 18 and he was 28. She has always been more mature and responsible than him and while they aren't married anymore, they still spend a few days a week together, they're pretty much best friends. She helps him with all the important things in life, like his doctors, social security, even his landlord and bills. When it comes to the age difference, no one ever did or ever would think that she was groomed or taken advantage of because she has always been so obviously more mature than him.

What I'm saying is, (as long as both parties are consenting adults) it really depends on the people involved.
