Okay. So I am 17, he is 35 and.........?

First of all, you say you help with his problems? I don't think you can comprehend his problems, and if you can, you don't wanna be with him. A 35 year old that can relate to a 17 year olds problems is nothing to mess with. Also, he's a rapist, so you should probably get the hell out. Go out with a high school guy, not this 35 year old bum. Get out while you can!
