Well I find myself in a May / December romance of sorts. He is 47 & I am 32. We get along very well. I enjoy his company, but he wants to be very serious immediately. I have just left close to a decade with someone and that among other things have been making me wonder about all of it. He is stable and wonderfully artistic, however, I did this kind of thing before in my early 20's & found that older guys like younger women to have fun with. This person says otherwise but this time I am a bit wiser (I'd like to think )
So he has a kid in college, I actually meet guys who hit on me all the time who are his son's age. I am not interested in anyone that young, I would like a family in a few years and it is obvious that he has raised his kid. I would never push that on someone either. He has an ex wife who is completely insane but it looks like she is out of the picture, now that the kid is an adult but you never know. He has stayed away from getting too serious due to career & his son.
So I am challenged... I like this person, he is very helpful and sweet, he even took my cat to the vet the other day. I get to meet people and do a lot of stuff that I only imagined because of him in this town, but I have this gnawing need to be all alone. He says it will pass & even proposed marriage the other night when I asked for some space. I said nothing either way but put my foot down when he began to announce things to co-workers.
I know he is afraid of losing me but I find this behavior foolish, as he is old enough to know better & we have only been involved for a few months. He doesn't need to act like a desperate old guy but he is. So any of you done this kind of thing? Never seriously got involved with someone with kids, all very new for me.
