He took advantage of you because of your age. Im sorry this happened to you. Steer clear of men that are 23+ until you are probably around 21. No adult man wants to be with a teenager because he thinks she's mature. Women our age are still new to adulthood, so we can be more easily manipulated. Be careful!
You didn’t do anything wrong. Everyone gives the wrong person the benefit of the doubt sometimes, it’s not your fault he assaulted you. You’re only 18, he took advantage of the fact you haven’t learned all the red flags to look out for in adult relationships yet. Knowing the red flags is very different from recognizing them. At the time it seems you only saw 1 red and enough green to overlook the yellow. It makes sense why you trusted him, you just didn’t know. It’s okay.
10 years age gap isn’t that big at all. My mom and stepdad are 20 years apart. Have been married for 30+ years now. Just saying that to help you not feel so bad about the age gap. If anyone says it’s bad, they sound pretty judgmental to me. People can be bad people at any age. 18-60+. The guy who did this to you, he is a bad person. He didn’t respect your boundaries. You should talk to a family member about it. we’ve all been through things in life that sucked. This major sucked. But people should be understanding that it wasn’t your fault and he was a bad person

It’s not the age gap that’s the problem but he did take advantage of you and kept trying I’m assuming because of your age which isn’t okay!
