Women are lying to themselves if they don't think that fertility is, or should be, a factor.

Probably a prime factor.

JM

JM, i get your point-BUT it isn't always a factor-some guys have children already and don't want anymore-some don't see the need to have their OWN seed and are content playing a big role in their partners kids lives...or in adoption. It's obvious that for you, fertility and having your own children is a big factor-and there'st nothing wrong with that...and yes for many guys could be the same way....but it's NOT like that for all men or even all women/men.

Personally I don't know if I will have more children....but should I want to I probably have another good 4-6 years left of fertility

The thing with this guy, 19 years old, he doesn't even know himself yet, and has a lot molding ahead of him. What will happen, when he is in his mid 20s, and he decides, I want to have children, because, you know, one day, he will probably have those thoughts.

What will happen, if he does think that.

At 19, he probably thinks, great, I can have all fun and no responsibility, and I can just create a good life for myself, because my sugar momma already has a stable life, and I don't have to worry about having kids, all while I make my life exactly the way I want - perfect.

But after a few years, he establishes himself and his life the way he wants, and guess what - now it isn't so important he doesn't have children he really has to take care of, so he starts to think, I want to have children, and he tells her, I want children - which will create all kinds of arguments.

Anyways, on the age stuff, I still believe people can be mature enough to do something like this, if they are being a man/woman about things, instead of being boys and girls. My great uncle was 30 years old when he married his current wife who was 18, and they have been married 50+ years.

Lots has been said about the couple, but not much about the kids this woman already has. They're 11 and 13, and their potential stepfather is 19.

They'll never respect him.

They'll see him as a buddy and maybe a peer (especially the 13 year old), but as a parent? Forget about it.

Ha! Your bf sounds like me. I served about the same time in the Army between active and reserve time and I'm married/divorced too.

He was active the whole time (SF) and only got out b/c he was told he had to take a desk job or a medical discharge (he messed up his back pretty good) b/c he refused back surgery. He took the medical. He's not a desk job kinda guy. lol

in the words of Tony Dungy, on an incredibly unrelated situation, "it's a bad, bad, bad situation." LOL

this is just personal opinion, but i would not consider someone +/- 7 years. i would prefer that my wife be of the same age range as me. but alas, these decisions are not up to me!

so, with that in mind.. the original situation just might be ok.

My ideal is half my age +7 at the minimum - which means 22-23.

But like I said, we shouldn't talk about age like that. What really matters is how you really relate with them. If you find that you can confide and be close to someone who is not in your age range, and you find that you relate to them better than people in your own age range, than it will be a good relationship.

However, if you are out for that sweet young 'thang' than it's not going to work.
