Hi, my boyfriend of 5months is 34, im 21, and he split up from his wife a few years ago and their daughter is 3 1/2.

We have a wonderful relationship, were so similar and agree on so many things, and we're talking about having a future together.

Only im getting cold feet or something cos im thinking too much about the fact im 21, and he's an ex-married man with a kid.

This isnt really a problem except for when i think about it. People think hes only about 27/28, so its not visibly obvious he's old, and his daughter is a wonderful little girl.
Also i spose ive always envisioned myself with a younger, single guy.

I probably sound very fickle/shallow (im not), i want to know wat you all think about this.

You're not being fickle or shallow - you're a young woman with your life ahead of you. If you say it's a problem when you think about it=- then it's a problem. Cause it's important to think before you launch yourself into making major life decisions.
