Mine is nearly my age (a couple of years older). I'd been basking in the (for me, safer) assumption/fantasy of her being much older (at least five years) until she mentioned how close in age we were. I remember yelling at her, "I don't want to know *that*! What is *wrong* with you?"
All other Ts I've seen have been significantly older, and the transference has been nowhere near as intense and multilayered. All kinds of issues surface that never would, otherwise (if I wrote them all down I'd break the longest post record or something). Age sure does make a difference!
