You're still very young and have plenty of time to build a life with someone else. You're not giving us much to go on as to why this relationship is worth trying to salvage--do you feel there is a good division of labor, a good sense of communication, and a good amount of mutual respect?
At the end of the day, only you can decide if the trust is there to have a stable foundation for a relationship, or if his deceit has broken that trust irreparably. My two cents is it's only 7 months and it's better to get out now--why take the risk that he will disappoint you when he's already shown you who he is. And tbh, I don't believe him when he says nothing happened with his ex (or if that was even the only time).
And this is all setting aside the age gap, which raises some questions.
Edit: After reading more details from your other posts, get out now. He didn't come clean, he was exposed; his ex confirmed they slept together, as do the contents of his texts; and, to top it all off, he's blaming you and trying to control your social media, purely so he can control the narrative and limit information about who he cheats with without others finding out, which is 100% abusive behavior--are you sure you're even the girlfriend and not the other woman? His behavior surrounding sex and requiring it every time, including guilt tripping you about "holding him hostage" is also classic abuse.

Pass.
Google love bombing. This guy is a classic abuser, and you're seeing a bit behind the facade he's put up. The second you peek behind that curtain, he's cheating, he's blaming you, and he's controlling your social media/body with his demands for passwords and sex.
A relationship is built on trust. He doesn't trust you, as shown by demanding access to all your social media, and you shouldn't trust him after he lied and you were confronted with credible evidence of cheating.
This is not a gentleman, this is your projection of what a gentleman looks like onto a 34 yr old with nothing going on. This is someone who will do whatever he can to use you and your body for as long as you will let him, until you figure out this is all manipulation.
