To think he's out of my league

[nipnips]

I am fairly recently separated from my husband and after a much shorter cooling off period than I'd planned, I've gone and met someone else.
He's 4 years older than me and also separated. He's dated a few women over the last year or two but hasn't found anyone he wanted to see more of. Until now, he says.
We met online, and spent a number of weeks chatting daily. He's witty and playful, and although I wasn't sure about whether I would find him attractive after receiving some photos from him, I knew we'd at least become friends so I arranged to meet him in a local pub for a drink.
As it turns out, we hit it off. Conversation flowed, he made me feel good, he looked great in the flesh and I fancied him. When we left the pub together we hugged and I pecked him on the cheek and went home.
An hour later he messaged me to tell me that he thought our date was 'electric' and couldn't wait to see me again.
To cut a long story short he's been driving cross country to spend time with me, he treats me with total respect and has suggested we wait before we have sex. So I know he's in it for me as a person, rather than sex.
On paper it all sounds lovely, but something is bothering me. He has a very high powered well paid career. He is incredibly driven and successful, the type of man who gets up at 5am to go to the gym before jetting off to close a multi million pound deal, then finishing the day with a meeting on the board of governors for his daughter's school.
Then there's me. I'm skint. I drive a clapped out old banger and run a crappy little business from home which fits in well around my children, but i'm hardly raking it in. Until I met him I was happy with my place in society, so I don't really need people coming along to tell me I have low self-esteem etc. I don't.
I just wonder why he's interested in a relationship with me? Will my lack of drive and ambition be too much for him to bare? Can a relationship like this work, where one person is contributing so much and the other so little?
I've asked him not to be flash or talk about money because it makes me uncomfortable, and he listened. He's been really trying, but it still bugs me.
Am I better off letting this one go?

I’m now so tired having been up all night reading this. I came on for update.
OP you are certainly not stable.
How about a break from intrigue and some time to sort yourself out.

What a batshit thread!

You are a nightmare OP. From the beginning. OLD is about casual sex and dating. You cannot ascertain anybody’s motives by asking a bunch of strangers to the situation. You haven’t mentioned anything that you actually LIKE about this guy. You haven’t mentioned anything that he might actually LIKE about you. It’s a playground - you have to build the sandpit. You have to build a relationship with someone, it doesn’t come off the shelf. This is OLD not internet shopping. You are dishonest and duplicitous. You also aren’t a free agent and neither is he. Sort yourself out before you get hurt - or hurt other people.

Oh no I’ve killed the thread.

Relationships where men earn more/do more in general than their female partners are still fairly common. Clearly the money thing is starting to bother you though. I would imagine that as time goes on both of you will find irritating things about one another but that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work.

Balaboosteh ... alas, all good threads must come to an end ;)
.... although at the rate OP was going the update tonight could be:
‘So I’ve met his DC, EXW, DM DF and all his friends and work colleagues.... I met them at our ‘Wedding’ 😀. This was arranged in under one hour in between him making a multimillion pound deal. It nearly never happened when during the part where the Vicar says Does anyone know of any reason this person should not be married my actual husband burst into the room, followed by lots of other women that claimed to be seeing him too? ‘

I just came across this thread, and know someone in a similar situation. OP, how did it go?
