Nyla Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 This is a question I have already answered, the dogs. My real question should be, should I continue dating this man knowing he won't live with the dogs in his house should we marry? We have been dating only 5 months. I'm a woman in her 50's, he's a several years younger. He doesn't have children although he has been married. He never wanted kids, doesn't like them. I have three grown daughters who have yet to marry or have children but should they and should I marry this man he probably wouldn't want the grandchildren in his house either. Sounds so silly as I'm posting this, I know what I need to do and yet knowing someone will never change could there be a compromise? Forming any realtionship at any age takes work. I think I should give this a few more months? We talked about all of this just this morning agreeing we are still learning about each other and I told him maybe we don't need a time limit on our realtionship, but now I'm thinking I shouldn't give this more than another 7 months. That might be to long. Any thoughts on this? It never makes any sense to try to have a relationship, with a person who hates important parts of your life. Dogs and grandchildren are important to you, so this man is not a good match. One of the reasons my husband and I married each other is we both feel the same way about not having children. It would not have made sense for either of us to marry someone who wanted kids. My husband doesn't love cats the way I do, but he can live with one and he always falls in love with any cat that we have had.
