[yonderie]

I mean, it's her life. If she's happy I don't see how we have the right to criticize her

[pinkpanda_spirit]

almost 50 :/

[Yukihime]

I know age is just a number blah blah, but 25 years is the age gap between my dad and me ! (he just turned 50 and I'll turn 25 in two months) and what's even more worrying is that he's a therapist, taking care of the mental health of idols, which means there is a high chance he met her when she was in a bad place and vulnerable. So this added to the huge age gap makes me go ...

[Lilies]

He's twice her age which is weird but they'e both adults and it's her life. I wish her happiness

[lovery]

Don't doctors typically start their careers later due to the long process of becoming one? Maybe it's different in Japan but when I read "doctor" I think of an older person... I would figure that he wouldn't be super close (or close at all) to her age considering she's only 23.

the age is not the biggest problem for me but the fact that he was her psychotherapist for years before they started dating and he also plays a big part in the new agency apricot is what kinda scares me.

i didn't see mention of that in the OP besides the title? am i missing something?

[--Mari--]

i didn't see mention of that in the OP besides the title? am i missing something?

yeah i just noticed that it wasn't put in the op, but in the article it was mentioned that he was her therapist and thats how they met. According to the article Momoka suffered from anxiety, and various other “negative thoughts†

 

"On February 6th, 2019 Momoka posted a message on her official Twitter account, sharing that she would be apart of a brand new agency called Apricot inc. In the message she mentioned someone very special who had previously supported her as a doctor. “Mr. K†is also playing a large role in Apricot inc."

She seems happy, and that's what's most important, but marriage is a big decision and you never know how things will turn out in the future.

 

Is she being manipulated? I don't think so, but it's a bit weird.

[Mudko]

Age difference is really nothing i care TOO much about considering they are both adults.

 

But that PLUS him being her therapist? That concerns me. Especially if he was her therapist when she WAS NOT an adult.

[malo]

If he was her therapist and that's how they met that's a big problem!  But I hope for her sake things work out well for her.

[Raosei]

She's 23? I thought she was way older, like in her thirties. She's an adult so she can do whatever she wants with her life, but it is a little worrying that she's marrying her own therapist since that's frowned upon for good reason. The age gap to me isn't that concerning since it has to do more with their maturity rather than a number. I do wish her happiness and that everything works out well for her

everything about this is so eek

[eunheart]

  omoka, really?

[Pug]

Girl got groomed for sure. This man should get his lisence revoked.

[capital]

Too much age difference. Makes me think if it's grooming.

[Ceceri]

Therapist? Um. NO THANKS. He’s taking advantage if her vulnerability

[tokpopandbeyond]

Girl got groomed for sure. This man should get his lisence revoked.

[campfire]

Uh...a therapist should never have any sort of relationship with his client outside of a doctor-patient relationship. Also, she is the age of a recent graduate and he is almost 50.

[SWASH]

[xguiltylovex]

I don't care about the age difference because she an adult. 

I just don't know how to feel about the fact that he her therapist.
