thank you all for your support. About the legal issue, I would never be able to press charges. First off, I'm certainly not proud of what I've done so I don't really want more people knowing than aleady do. Secondly, and I know already this is going to sound weak and stupid, but I don't want him to get in trouble. I was a minor when the relationship started, plus I don't want his wife finding out and leaving him. I don't want his kids to grow up without a dad. I know this is something we both should have talked and thought about before we started a relationship, but.. I don't know.. I'm expecting a lot of eye rolling with that, but it's an honest issue I have, no matter how stupid it may seem.

yeah, I'm getting over it (slowly, but surely), but I just wanted.. I don't know- reassurance that I was only PARTIALLY in the wrong. Thank you.

My first relationship started when I was 17, and my partner was my 32 year old married boss. I know this is already sounding bad, but I'm sure it'll get worse. We had been very close before we started the relationship, we went on company trips together, hung out outside of work, called each other, etc. When we started the relationship, things went relatively slow. we continued doing mostly "friend stuff" but with fooling around thrown in too. He was constantly telling me how beautiful I was, and how he trusted me more than anyone in the world, and how he could tell me anything. He told me stories about his wife- the typical "my wife is horrible" stories that every married man tells his mistress- and I soon fell in love with him. Almost a year later, we decided to have sex (Not something I like to admit). Soon after, of course, he broke up with me (using the most inventive break-up line I've heard- but that's another story for another time) and I was fired (by another boss, not him). I think I want to hear that he took advantage of my age and the fact that I had never had a relationship prior to this one so I don't feel as bad about the whole situation, but- in all honesty- could anyone construe this as he used his power and / or age to take advantage of me?

I'm happy that I'm not the only one (I'm not alone, eh? ) with this problem. However, I also seem to only attract MARRIED men that are 15-30 years older than me.
