[quote=Anonymous]I married a divorced guy in his early 40s who had kids (teens).  It worked out just fine for us and we now have set #2 of kids.  Yes, there was some baggage he needed to work through (guilt over the divorce), but I had my own baggage to work through too, so it still felt like an equal partnership.

I think that by 40, a divorced guy is a better bet than one who was never married (there is usually a reason), and you’d want to feel out how healthy his relationship with any kids is.  I think you have to be prepared to go with whatever sort of relationship any kids want (or don’t want) to have with you and be willing to support their dad in stlll being the best parent he can be to them (I.e. it’s not going to be all about you - they matter and his relationship to them matters a lot).  But if you are prepared to go there, families can look all sorts of ways.

Before we got married, I had a lot of naysayers in my life saying that our relationship wouldn’t work, but we are 13 years in and still happy.  Health issues are starting to come up now, but I knew that was what I signed up for.

I personally think video game addiction is a huge red flag and a lot of my friends with younger spouses are dealing with this.  [/quote]
