My (25M) girlfriend (19F) was flirting with another guy, told me about it immediately and feels bad, but doesn't want to stop talking to the guy.

The issue isn’t the age gap, it’s the actual ages involved. You’re 26 and probably getting ready to settle down into something serious. She’s 19 and still figuring herself out. Especially at 19, she’s gonna flirt dude. Laugh about it, be confident in yourself, tell her what your boundaries are and then leave it be. If she’s going to cheat/leave then there really isn’t anything you can do about it. Enjoy the relationship, be your best self, it’s all you can do.

Take it from a late 30s dude who somehow only attracts early 20s: you have to respect the other persons emotional level and experiences. 19 is a rough one, girl doesn’t know fuckall about the world and you gotta let that peacock flyyyyy.
