However, this is my third serious relationship and only one of my ex boyfriends was close to my age...probably because I am more mature than my actual age, I tend to go for older man, who are also mature and know what life is, who are settled and who know how to treat a woman. yes, 16 years is a big gap but that didn't really bother us.
I love kids very much and I have always had jobs where I looked after someone else's children and I never thought this will be a problem because guess what? You don't really know until you don't try.
We just had a chat but I wasn't strong enough to just say it's over. We decided to have a break and some time to think about it all. I know it will end eventually and probably it would of been easier to do it now...but is very difficult as I know I will loose, over all, my best friend.
How's that green card coming along, Tia?

Worked out "well" for your boyfriend.
Anyway, if you are attracted to older men then there is a good chance that you're going to end up with one that has children or an ex wife. Good luck.
