Blimey, you must have fallen in love quicky if you have a 2 year old with someone else?

Are you in a relationship with this woman?

Shelledwarrior · 10/05/2026 21:05

Yes. You are.

My niece had two children in their teens when she met and married her new husband.
He had no children, they were both 44 and she had a third child as her DH wanted a child and she loved/loves him and wanted to do so.

You say you are in love with this much younger woman but haven’t told her. Does she know you feel this way? Are you in a relationship with her?

Or are you still with the mother of your young children and just having a tragic mid life work crush?

Are you male or female, I am confused. If you are a man then you are not too old to father another child. If you are a woman, this younger love could carry the baby. Not really sure what you're on about.

You don’t hang about do you? 2 year old & thinking about another?

MiaKulper · 10/05/2026 21:19

Why aren't you still with your children's mother(s)?

mondaytosunday · 10/05/2026 21:33

Well if you are male then no problem! I had my second child at 43. My DH was 47. A friend had her child at 46 and her DH was 56. I don’t understand your worry?

My ex fiance moved on when our baby was three months and the wheels were in motion to move in with her and her child before my baby was one, they have now split up and moved out before my baby was 2 1/2 🙈

Apart from anything, I wouldn’t want to be parenting a teenager in my 60s, let alone running after a 7 year in when I’m 50.
