I’m really not looking for any judgement here, but advice.

I’ve already been told that my boyfriend is a pedophile and manipulating me on account of the age difference between us (I’m 19, my boyfriend is 37.) with that being said, no one has ever been as kind, loving, and respectful towards me as this man has. For those who do have a large age gap between them and their s.o, how do you deal with the stigma and judgment from others? How did you tell your family? How did they react?
