Marrying a younger guy...is it ok?

Janine

I need help with my feelings. I am in an extremely serious relationship with a guy and he proposed a week ago, and I said yes...

But now I am getting serious doubts in my mind...and I'll tell you why.
I'm 34 and he's barely 21. I have a daughter from a previous relationship and he positively dotes on her. But now, after 8 months of dating, the age gap has suddenly become a thorn in my eyes.

Its not that I feel he'll leave me, because he is absolutely different from any man I've met. Its more that when put next to each other..., lets just say it doesn't exactly look like a marriage picture.

Its just the figures which keep running through my mind...I'll be 40 when he is in the prime of his life...plus I don't know what my daughter thinks about having a father who is just 7 years elder to her...she doesn't have any issues with me dating him, but I haven't told her anything about the marriage.

My feelings are just messed up at the moment. Please help....
