Can a relationship be successful with a man 37 years old? I'm 25.

 I'm 25 years old and the man I'm interested in is 37 , besides the age he has three kids, one boy that is 18 years old and 2 daughters that are teens also. He is advanced in life an I feel like maybe this is a bad idea because he has children and has been married before maybe he won't desire the things I want in life, I don't have kids but I want to have kids, I'm just starting out in life. I really like him and it seem he likes me too.

I'm scared of the risk???Any advice?? I've known him for a year now.Undecided

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


You entered an extremely complicated relation..... Sure it can work but it won't be easy.....  In fact there are million reasons and obstacles in your (mutual) way.   You'll to work out all those "obstacles" with him (in an open deep discussion) and reach a clear understanding......  Better do it in writting....  I have the feeling that you didn't discuss it yet and that's a mistake (the more you are involved the harder it will be to go out ot it).
Love is stronger than anything..... but you enter a very complicated road better be sure you know to drive well !!!!. 
Best regards from warm Thailand.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. 

A relationship can be successful despite an age gap. Look at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Major age gap and they've made it work (and in the public eye nonetheless). I think it's important to communicate with this guy what it is you're looking for out of a relationship. If you and he are on the same page, great. If not, for example, he does not want to have anymore children and you do want to have children, you may want to re-think a relationship with him. Hope this helps.

I suggest you know him even more better and talk to him what you expect out of your relationship.  No one can advise you better than yourself.  Listen to your heart, not mind.  Take decisions that makes YOU happy rather than OTHERS think is right.  As far as his grownup children are concerned, they can understand, they are not kids and sure they can support you and your kid(s) if you choose to have.

The age difference is not a problem; the sticking point, and one I would recommend discussing with him as soon as possible is what you want out of life and your future.  He has respnosibilities that perhaps you are not ready for, or perhaps you have hopes and ambitions (such as marriage and kids) that he does not want.  There is a 14 year age gap between my partner and I, yet we both have the same plans for the future and our relationship is great.  I wish you every success in your chat with him.
