Hi,
I was hoping to get advice from different people, and to hopefully be able to move on with my life.
I am 33 this year, and I recently came out of a 5 year relationship September gone. I was with someone that didn't make me happy, and didn't share the same interests as me.
I unexpected met a woman a month or two later, and we grew a bond and got closer. She has two young daughters who I connected well with but we have hit a little bump. I cannot shake the idea of going travelling. Ever since I was 18, I wanted to travel and even with my ex partner, all I could think about was travelling. The woman I have met now does not share that same focus and nor should she as her priorities are different. She has asked me to decide what I want to do - to settle down or go travel. She said she will support both, but we cannot be together obviously if I go travelling. I do like her, and she really likes me which makes this difficult.
Like I said, I am 33 this year and I am so anxious about growing up old and alone with no children. I often see men in the pub sharing a pint with their son.
Do I follow my dreams and travel or do I sacrifice it and settle down now with someone who has a ready made family? I am edging towards travelling but I also don't want to let a great woman down because I feel like she deserves someone great.
Some, please give me advice :(
