Not the age gap - this is why Alico and Liraz get on our nerves - voila! Sheee. There's a reason why the pairing between Eyal and Daniel never bothered us, while Aliko's is driving us crazy.
The problem is not age gap or the inclinations, but rather differences in textures. Think for a moment about other couples with age gaps of two or more and admit it - you should consider the option that this is less of a matter of age gaps and more of texture differences.
