A male United Kingdom age , *eekaycee writes:

I am 52 years old and the girl I love is 30. We have been seeing each other on and off for 4 years. The time has come where she wants to get married and have a family, this both excites me and scares, is this a natural feeling given the circumstances and should I let the age gap affect my decision?

Well how long is your life expectancy? And how good a dad would you make? It's not ideal but a good dad who isn't around for as long is better than a bad one that you can't get rid of.

thx for your honest thoughts, finally what about the children, can you comment on whether its fair or not for them to have a father of that age while they are still young?

If you both love each other then I don't see much of a problem. 30 isn't old but she's a bloom, not a blossom. It could be difficult having a family as (not to scare you) but being 22 years older than her and older than most men when they have children, you're not going to be around as long as they are. I would discuss this with her, so she is aware of the issue. If she still wants a family, and you decide you would be happy with that, then don't let anything stop you.
