Having a relationship with a man with kids
Hi,
I will try and make this short.
I am 23 yo and I am in a relationship with a 39yo man who has a 7yo boy from a previous relationship, for 18 months now.. We love each other very much and he is a great guy but I am worried that this won't work in the long term run. I like his boy but I have always got in the back of my head that his ex will be always there in the background and I will never be in his priorities. I am also coming from a different country and I know I will have to make big sacrifices to keep us together as he will never be able to follow me. He won't even be able to have a summer holiday just for us or a Christmas together at my home.
We are getting on very well and we are great friends over all. I know it won't work as a long term but I don't know how to finish it as I get very emotional when I am with him and I can't hurt him. How should I make him understand, without being harsh?
Please help me!
