throwaway Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Hello everyone! Just some background information. I am 22-years-old and my girlfriend is 30-years-old. I have been through 4 previous relationships with the longest being three years. We have been a couple for about a year and honestly it is one of the most fulfilling relationships I have ever had. I'm very happy with her and the age thing doesn't seem to bother us, our friends, or our family. Realistically, I do really want to have children later in life (like my early thirties). With her being my senior, I just don't see how that is possible without severe complications and risks involved. LS, do you think I should break things off knowing this?
Deano8888 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 dude chill out, your only 22. What makes you think having kids in your thirties is such a great idea? Whats the difference? I had my first at 17 and my second at 22, and I love my daughters with everything in me. I would not have changed a thing. I have always provided for them, loved them and been there for them. At the end of the day, you can be mature minded at 20 and immature at 40, If I was you I would relax for a bit, you have only been going out for a year. Do you even know when or even if she wants children. I would start by finding this out.
EgoJoe Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Don't let her biological clock push your boundaries. If you're not ready, you're not ready and children deserve a father who is ready. Seventeen is wayyyy too young for a kid and twenty-two is still a bit young in my book. But what do I know..I mean...I'm twenty-five and wouldn't dare think of having children before I had EVERYTHING together.
