I have been seeing somebody, who I met online, for 3 months. I've fallen for him big tme. I'm 55 and have two grown up children, one of whom has an 11 year old daughter.
I knew this man had children younger than my children but he never said their actual ages - if I asked he would change the subject.
I finally got him to tell me their ages as it was quite obvious he was hiding something.
They are 6 and 2.
I'll admit, I was surprised. This man is the same age as me so I wasn't really expecting him to have children quite so young.
It also turns out he is a full time dad and every time we met, they were with their nanny (childcare nanny).
The childrens mum is not in the picture.
I'm now questioning the relationship. I am head over heels in love with this man, he has made me so happy in the 3 months we have been together, I don't want to give him up but I'm not sure I want to be "mum" to such young children at my time of life. My granddaughter is older than they are.
