I'm in a serious relationship with older guy (15 yrs) and i need some advice?

i've been seeing this guy for a few months now and we've known each other for years. he's 37 and i'm 22. he treats me well and this is quite possibly the most satisfying relationship i've had so far..we get along great. he has no kids and has never been married (he was engaged but she broke it off)


i'm not concerned about our age difference now but in thinking long term, our relationship might face greater challenges. he wants to have kids and i think about what it would mean to him (and the kids) to be a first-time dad in your forties. i think about being a spirited 55 year old woman enjoying her hard-earned retirement days traveling abroad while he would be 70 and possibly in declining health. am i being ridiculous or should i try to end it and avoid bigger problems later in our golden years? i really want to be in a relationship with him and in a few years, that could mean marriage---what would your advice be?I'm in a serious relationship with older guy (15 yrs) and i need some advice?
Life IS short, its smart to plan ahead, but i do not believe that being afraid of age- difference related issues is a strong enough reason to break it off. You did say its the most satisfying relationship u've had so far, i'm not saying nothing better will come later, u're 22 still young and u can find plenty of good relationshsips, HOWEVER, if u're satisfied with this one dont give it up! i'm 21 by the way, i dont have that much experience and i'm not dating an older man, but i do know this, worryng too much about the future will make u lose several present opportunities. Whatever wil be will be, who knows he might even outlive u! I think u shouldnt give up the guy, goodluck anyways.I'm in a serious relationship with older guy (15 yrs) and i need some advice?
One of the most exciting relationships I ever had was with a woman 17 years my senior. Sadly it did not work out. If you keep thinking about ';what might happen'; 10 or 20 or 50 years down the road you will never make a move. One of my philosophies is ';Life is short. Eat desert first';, but then I am a bit older than you. It is easier for a 40 yo man to have and raise kids than it is for a 40 yo woman to have and begin raising kids. No matter what you think might happen ';down the road';, I can guarantee you that what will happen is something you can not possibly think of at this point in time. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, ';Life is not stranger than you imagine, it is stranger than you can imagine.'; I could never have imagined whaere I am now in my wildest dreams. I'ld sau go for it, but then if it doesn't work out you will blame me.
It is wonderful of you to think that far ahead. Imagine how medicine was 20 years ago and imagine how it will be 20 years from now. Men's bodies are a little bit sturdier so you should be fine when you are 55 and he is 70. Osteoporosis hits women in their 50's so you could possibly be in no better shape than he is. Who knows what kind of medicines we'd have by then. Erection pills are available now so that department will not be a problem. You'll be fine.
it's your choice you can't always have someone help you every step of the way. and if it makes him happy it should make you happy too.
Good questions! It is really up to you, I would maybe write a list of pros and con's and really think hard about it! The age difference isn't that bad, and you never know how he might age! If he takes good care of himself! Your only as old as you feel, right! I hope whatever you choose makes you happy! Best wishes!
