I think it's fine if a 40-year old and a 19-year old play together. But there are some important things: You cannot be a party to someone's lying. If he is not mature enough in his life and his relationship with his parents to tell them at least part of the truth (I'll be back tomorrow, I'm at a friend's house, etc.) without drama, then it's not going to work. A recent situation happened to me, (almost 40 years old), I started a relationship with a 19 year old. But he lied to his parents about where he was, my age, etc. The mom did some kind of search on me, found out the truth, and went BATSHIT. Being immature, he was really affected by this. I never lied to her, and discouraged him from lying to her, the whole time, but still I had to suffer the consequences. The bad part of this was that I really liked him (against all guidance, sometimes you like a person). There were other problems too, that wasn't the only one, but I am just writing to say that lies are going to be discovered and the fallout could be dramatic. These people suggested that they would not pay for college if their son were to continue the un-desirable relationship. Do you want that for the young man you're involved with? If he can't tell the truth to the people who presumably love him most in the world, do yourself and him a favor and stay away.
