This means that he has a fixation on girls in the crucial years of development from young teen to young adult. This obsession would have started when he was a teenager himself.
Technically, individuals who engage or desire to engage in sexual activities with pubescent teenagers under the legal age of consent ( ages 13 - 16 ) are known as hebophiles. Individuals who are attracted to physically mature partners ( 16 - 19 ) are known as teleiophiles. From his preferences, he fits more into the diagnoses of a hebophile.
As you've experienced, he is showing obsessive signs over younger girls - this obsession will not die. It will harbor inside of him, and his fixation on these girls will continue as his years progress. Hebophiles and teleiophiles tend to be far more collected, socialable, and appealing than 'pedophiles' who tend to show incapability to control their urges, ( the majority of pedophiles are drug addicts or alcoholics, this inability to control urges carries on past children )
I recommend that you start to break away from him. It's one thing to love you for YOU, and find your body attractive because they love you, but it's another thing to love you because you fit their ideal sexual fantasy. You simply allow him to live out his desires legally.
Do not expect this to go away, at 28 years old he is far past the margin of 5 year limit to be considered outside these mental disorders. If I were you, I would start to throw out the net to other men. Ones who will fall in love with the woman inside, not the childlike image outside.
Good luck, dove, you're in a peculiar situation, that's for sure.

Lol its funny you ask this bot bc its a funny sotuation but bc half the guys on here say that's just being a normal healthy male.. Being attracted to and searching for very young/er women. I'm surprised they are not on here claiming he's just a healthy red blooded male.
The MH is bullshit. Men are naturally attracted to younger women. Its not a mental disorder. This is just another attempt at demonising male sexuality. Older women are constantly criticising men for preferring younger women over them, constantly trying to say that they're just as attractive but that men are just intimidated by them.
I feel that fixation is here to stay... but. doesn't mean that he will lose attraction to you.
