[quote=Anonymous]When I was 19 I dated a 35-year-old man.

It was about daddy issues.

Older man made me feel special, mature, and competent. The fact that our relationship was kind of striking / shocking to outsiders reinforced my sense that I must be a very special young woman -- which is critical to someone whose father failed to meet his responsibilities (drank to avoid my mother's abuse -- which meant he didn't help me).

In my case, at least I'd been paying my way for a couple of years and held relatively responsible jobs for my age. But I was still a kid and that was why I did it. As for him -- who knows? He was a good guy, really. Not creepy. But I think he was trying to get back a piece of childhood, maybe.

Your girlfriend is a child. She has been living off of her parents and never taken care of herself.

You don't marry kids.

There's also no earthly reason to get married. You have three kids and she's not ready for kids. Date if you must. Shack up after the kids leave at the end of the summer if you absolutely must. But don't ruin this kid's life by shackling her to a guy who has no business starting another family. [/quote]
