It might. But that's ideology. Everyone has to find their own limits. You'd be shocked by how many hs girls have had sex with their teachers. Some boys, too. They won't likely post about it here, because of the repressive forces at work, but I know they're out there. I've met some of them. They're even reading this, smiling quietly. Yoohoo!
They were involved with college guys who took them so-seriously, in a couple of cases, the needy hs bf that they were using, stringing along, you all know the deal. They were two-timing them. I didn't care. Obviously. I wasn't "competing" for their attention in the form of a serious, exclusive relationship.
One of them had her bf's pic on her corkboard in her study abroad room. He seemed like a nice guy.
Years ago I'd have been horrified by their apparent disregard for these boys. But it's the reality and clinging to shining knight ideals makes it worse for you, not them.
One more thing. Do you really think I was the only possible "source" of their actions? No. The girls take responsibility for their own cheating. We're all adults.
And it doesn't matter whether you approve or not. British society encourages people to pass judgment on others but whether you find it personally valdiating or not, doesn't matter to me.
For you also, it helps to understand how widespread this kind of thing is. It's not a deviant niche activity. It's not that unusual. Even - especially - in the repressed UK culture.
What does it mean to "grow up"? In Britain, that seems to mean to live in increasingly bitter frustration, to feel as if life's opportunities have passed you by, that people are talking out of the side of their mouths about how great things are for them. People are cold and hypocritical, women are repressed, the weather's awful. I lived it, I remember.
When I lived in the UK, I was nowhere near 40. And that's how I felt. Thank God I escaped. Returning as a visitor is so much better.
As for making you uncomfortable, reality can do that.
You've admitted you have an 18yo gf, so let's face it, it wouldn't be defensible to criticize me for having one
Yes, I have one of them too, but I also have mistresses from other age brackets in different places - from 20s to 50s.
