Age difference insecurity

[ThisBlueViewer]

Hey everyone I'm new here so please be nice. Over the last few months I [F41] have been having a casual relationship with a younger man. He's only 25 and we met through a mutual friend. As a single mum the attention I'm getting from him is definitely welcome but I can't help but feel a bit conflicted. Id definitely find it off if I was a man seeing a woman who was so much younger. I would find a guy like that pretty creepy. And even though I know he is enjoying himself I can't help but feel I'm being a creep for sleeping with him. What do you guys think any feedback is welcome

Both consenting adults, unless he has some vulnerabilities we don’t know about, enjoy yourself.

Why are you so bothered about what other people think ?

I would feel a bit embarrassed if I was you, to be honest. I don't think you SHOULD feel embarrassed but I think I would.

You’re consenting adults with no imbalance of power. People get outraged about all kinds of things but you don’t have to take notice. It’s fine.

He’s only a couple of years older than my son, who isn’t old/experienced enough to know his own mind fully, so I find it creepy/predatory.

I don't think the situations of older female/younger man and younger female/older man are directly comparable because we live in a patriarchy so the power dynamic is not identical.
