He's lovely and he keeps telling me the age gap doesn't bother him. My sister dating the exact same age gap between herself and her partner but somehow that seems more acceptable when it's the man that's older.
I just need a sounding board really. Hmm, I had a one night stand with a 19 year old when I was 30 and it actually kind of felt a bit wrong. He just seemed so young. But if you are both happy then I guess that is all that is important. I would year they were having fun and not in a serious relationship until they were older.

I would hope that you're more responsible and sensible than to date a 19 year old at your age, especially when there's children involved. Give your head a massive wobble. Just take it very very slowly and make sure he's not unhappy at home and looking for somewhere to move in to.
When l was 42 and newly divorced l started seeing a 21 year old. He was mature for his age, though.

We were old for two and a half years. I have to be honest as the parent of noemy montes 20 year old DS that if he was dating a 30 year old with 2 DCs I would be a bit worried.
However if I met her and could see that actually they were a good match and they both were happy I would feel better. Yes I very much agree, but it's a question I was asked by close friends when I mentioned it to them so I thought I'd get it out of the way. A bit awkward, mainly talk about video games, football, beer, girls and Snapchat. But if it works, it works. Would feel like dating a child. My best friend was 27 when she met her DP who dating 18 at the time. The problem with younger chaps is they can be quite immature.
So yes, it can work. You're 'dating' a 19 year old? What the hell do you talk about? In all honesty, I know several women who have dated and even married men who were when they met and the women over All of them ended. Usually because the man was far to immature and wanted someone to provide and look after him. Some because the women didnt want more or several more children. It might be year the people I know, but its seems to work out far less often this way onlyfans cookiecolleen than the other.
Personally, at 30 I wouldn't have even looked twice at 19 year old. Especially if I had kids. The age and life experience really puts you in different places. You've known him 3 weeks. You're 30 with 2 DCs He is 19 and its quite unlikely this relationship has got legs.
Just sayin'. Have you slept with him yet? Nothing wrong with that if you have. Just curious.
'When I was 19, I dated a 30-year-old. Here’s what I’d say to him now.'
It can affect what old say I agree with WorraLiberty - it's the life experience which bothers me. A mother of two young children has a much different life from a 19 year old lad.
DH and I had the same age gap when year metbut we were in the same stage of life and were both single and fancy free. You'll be having to organise child care just to go on a date - are you sure you're both ready for this unbalanced relationship? Oh that's pretty gross. He is a teen plenty of men your own age around.
