New life

[Celine42]

I am 42 m’y partner is 39. We have an amazing relationship. For me it’s such a change as my last relationship was abusive.
We are very much in love and it’s an equal partnership. I have 3 children and he has 1 child from a previous relationship.
He has a good career and is financially stable I earn less but it’s not an issue
He has spoken about us having a child together and I would love to but I’m worried I’m too old.
I would love to hear from others who have been in a similar situation

How long have you been together? Do you live together? Do the children get on? Would you become financially dependent on him if you were to have another child?
if he hadn’t mentioned having a child would you have brought it up yourself? Is that what you want for yourself or for him and your relationship?

Between the two of you, you've already contributed four new humans to an overcrowded, burning planet earth. That's plenty.

Focus on the people you've got.

Gently - I think this is a really bad idea. You are really lucky to have a great relationship with 4 kids in the mix. Why would you jeopardise this ? Babies are a hand-grenade in any relationship but having one when you are in your 40s when the others are a lot older (are they ?) is just nuts . If he didn't have one and REALLY wanted one then - perhaps but he does - so leave it at that and look forward to some child free years.
