Too big of an age gap?

I mentioned to my sister and close friend that I dated a 32-year-old when I was 19/20 (we started dating a week before my twentieth birthday. We went on holiday together and stayed friends after we split up. I didn’t feel groomed or exploited but friend seemed to think I was. He was emotionally immature and I’ve always been an “old soul” apparently (whatever that means).

I personally think that if two people are over the age of consent and if your partner isn’t old enough to be your parent, it’s fine.

Friend and sister STRONGLY disagree. AIBU?

Neither does he, it was me who initiated it originally. Considering how fit and good looking he is he would have no problem attracting women his own age. I find it quite funny that you think you know him better than I do. Truth be told, you sound quite jealous and bitter.

Of course.

It's always the super 'mature' teenager who chases the divorced geezer. Because of course.

Desperate 50 something divorcees are 10 a penny on any internet dating site, so the 'jealous' comment is laughable. Anyway, enjoy your fit 50 year old.

A truly good man would have rejected your advances and advised you to approach someone closer to your own age.

I doubt that anyone is “jealous and bitter” that you’re embroiled with this character. More concerned, I’d say. But it’s your life.

Well at least your last sentence is correct, I suppose that's something.
