You kind of do. People change a lot after being in a major new phase of their life for a year.
I’m not going to say 17 and 20 is outright unethical. It’s possible for that to have been a freshman and junior in high school who had a long term relationship. They’re not required to break up.
But a 20 year old meeting a 17 year old is significantly more creepy, and is likely due to the power imbalance.
If I recall correctly, over here once the person reaches the age of consent (16) it’s considered legally acceptable if the different is + 4 years, meaning a 20 years old couldn’t be accused of being a pedo if they were going out with a consenting 16 years old…
They just need to remember to not be idiots and not to share pictures…
Unless you’re 20.
Some US state lawmakers would disagree
