SERIOUS. Has anyone had a romantic relationship with a significantly older partner when they were 16 or younger and felt weird about it later in life? How did you make peace with it?

Yes. 15 and 46.

I haven't really made peace with it. I'm always angry/emotional about it, so I try to not think about it. I'm angry about my family's response, I'm angry that he held me back for no good reason (all I wanted was custody, no money), I'm angry because he totally got away with it, even though I wasn't the only teenager he preyed on. I'm angry that when I went to a social worker at 17 she told me to stick it out because at least I'd be able to afford to keep studying.

Mostly I feel like he robbed me from my future for no good reason. And I'm scared he gave me a STD (he cheated on me countless times throughout the years) but I can't bring myself to get tested. I don't plan on having sex with anyone ever again, anyway.
