Just to be clear, not blaming you. And a side eye can settle down if everything’s above board. Brains develop fully around 25, nuerodivergent brains more like 30-32. So it’s just a factor but the younger the youngest person the bigger the factor. IMO a 25 year old and a 19 year old is waaaay worse than 46/30, financially, potentially education, life experience etc.

Your case if you were both the same age, you have a safety net he doesn’t, there’s something there but even then he shouldn’t be battering you with it. It feels like he’s trying to create a dynamic to offset the age difference?

• Best case* scenario I’d guess he envies the closeness and support you have from your family and it makes him sad, probably a bit of both. Still not great. If he picks at aspects of you otherwise (social ability, looks, income, isolates you from friends family) I would be pretty concerned.
