He is 40 I am 20. Bad idea? I really like him and we have discussed the age thing, but we seem to match up on so many levels.
He acts mature, but he is still young. You know what I mean?
He has 3 kids. Which he raises on his own. The oldest is 17. It would be super awkward to be a step-mother to a 17 year old.
We are getting super serious so I want to know if this is one of the stupidest things I have ever done before I lose my heart to him.

You are very young and have your whole life ahead of you.

You are wise to question if you are ready to mother 3 kids at the age of 20.

<< She is something like 12 years younger then her bf, but she says it's different. >>


Yes, because your mom isn't 20 ... so, it IS different!

<< I'm thinking about how difficult it would be to be a mother to a 17 year old. >>


First of all, his kids have a mother ... so, you wouldn't be filling that role.

I meant dating exclusively for a month. We have known each other for 6 months. But I am taking a huge step backwards. I had to clear my head of him and you guys helped me do that. Thanks.
