When I was 15 I met a guy that was 7 years older than me. This was well before I came out as transgender. He was my guitar teacher and I had a crush on him. He added me on Facebook and started talking to me. He liked me too. After a few months we started dating and dated for 2.5 years. When I turned 18 I found out he had been sleeping with my best friend when we were 17 and was cheating on me with another girl that was 16 at the time. Years passed and I learned a few years ago he is in prison for trying to sleep with a 13 year old when he was 30. He was in the marines and started texting this young girl and her parents found out. Theh turned the phone over the to NCIS and someone posed as her and got him to agree to meet up. Lol jokes on him. But how did he only get 10 years when people get far more for less? He also was found to have been spying on girls as young as 5. Like apparently on one of our trips we stayed with his friend that had a young daughter and he had images on her on his computer from that time. I had no idea. I also feel so used and gross about hacking dated someone like him, like his hands tainted me.
I’m sorry you had that in your life. I went with many older men when I was a teenager. I went with one man who was in his 30s starting when I was 16 off and on for a couple years. He was married. I didn’t understand what I was doing or how my actions were affecting other people. I also didn’t understand that he was a pedophile. I thought I was all grown up. I thought I loved him and he loved me. I feel sickened by it now, like really grossed out. But you live and learn. There were older men than that, I just didn’t see it as wrong, now I see.
This thread bring to mind a 21 year old woman I dated when I was 14, not that it was all that bad but I skipped hanging out with people my age and went to hanging around a bunch of drunken adults, set me on the wrong road
I remember towards the end of the relationship I had just moved in with him and suddenly he was gone all the time and blamed me for being upset about it. I mean he would leave at 8am and come home at midnight every day. He drove me crazy. I was crying all the time. Then one day he told me he wanted a “break” and I felt better because he had communicated. Like maybe 20 minutes later my friend calls me and told me everything. I snapped and threw my phone at his face and fell over crying. It was the only time I’ve ever been violent. J mean i was out of control
I dated a guy in high school that was 12 with a 32 year old girlfriend, the kid was 3 when I met the boyfriend. So creepy ■■■■■■■■go both ways, she got no time though cause this was before 2000, and Beloit wasn’t know for being equal like that. But a just outta high school with 16 year old girlfriend for years would get dinged if the right parents called.
