Don’t let it concern you any further. You haven’t done anything wrong

One person said: “He is over the age of consent. As long as neither of you were so drunk that you couldn’t give consent, I don’t see a problem. Actually, I think it’s good of you!”
Another added: “He is of age and now has a story to tell. You weren’t planning on going outside sleep with him and not ‘goal‘ or grooming him, it’s fine.
While someone else wrote: “He is over the legal age, he is an adult. I know what you mean about it being weird because I would feel a little blergh too, but what can you do now?
‘Don’t let it concern you any further. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
It’s not illegal, but it’s dirty

Despite this, not everyone was equally friendly.
One user snapped: “If you were a forty year old man sleeping with a 19 year old you would rightly be called a sleaze.
“It’s not illegal, but it’s sloppy and people who say you don’t have to beat yourself up are typical Mumsnet hypocrites.”
A second chimed in: “I don’t agree with all the people saying it’s okay because he’s reached the age of consent. I have a 19 year old girl and would be shocked to think of her being with a 43 year old man.”
Meanwhile, another agreed: “Bit weird. If it was a man, I would say a typical dirty old man.”
