Teen girl with older man

Anon as it is a sensitive topic... When I was 16 I got into an intimate relationship with a family friend who was in their mid-forties. I lost my virginity to him and at the time was very happy and we both had feelings for each other, seeing each other socially as well as for sex. My family did not, and still do not, know anything about the relationship, which meant that seeing each other was sometimes tricky and there were a few close calls in the 2 years that we were seeing each other. Around 1 year into the relationship, he told me that I was never going to get "I love you" from him, and that clearly there was no future in it, but he wanted to keep seeing me. I obviously knew that nothing would ever come from it and accepted that, but still carried on seeing him up until I went to university. It's been a few years since then now and it is now that I look back at it and regret it. Although I've dated a few men since then I feel like it's tainted me, and I'm reluctant to tell them about it. I suppose what I'm really looking for here is for anyone who has been in a similar situation to this to share their experiences?
