It is obvious they aren't a cute couple and she knows it. The young lady doesn't like the way people look at them when they are out together. She isn't comfortable with being in her family's presence with him either, because she knows what they will say, "He's too old for you. He looks like your dad!"
Young ladies don't think of age difference details until they are tested by society. Similar to an interracial relationship, it takes some getting use to for some May-December couples to be seen in public and to witness reactions. Being behind closed doors is one thing, but being out in the open with an aging partner is something different. One must be comfortable in his or her own skin while choosing to ignore the mean or shocking stares and comments. You can't help who you fall in love with!
If you find yourself frequently feeling uncomfortable about the relationship, discuss your concerns with your partner. Consider your needs first and if it becomes too much to bear, maybe an age gap relationship is not for you. Even though a person's appearance shouldn't be a big deal, it is when there are significant years between you both.
Attraction is very important in relationships and when you don't feel attracted to a partner than you might as well face it. Not everyone is like fine wine getting better with age--it's a harsh reality that some couples don't want to admit to.
