[quote=Anonymous]I think that the child thing is the biggest issue.  If you really and truly don't want kids, then that takes care of that problem.

However if you are 30, there is a pretty decent chance that you may decide you want kids a few years down the road.  I would discuss that with him.  What happens if you change your mind.  Would he be on board with that decision.  Would he let you go and find someone else at that time.  I know it seems like a silly thing to discuss, but I have seen it happen several times over the years.

I have seen it where both partners were completely honest with each other about not wanting kids.  No deception or trickery at all.  Then a few years down the road, one partner decides that they really do want kids.  It can be a disaster.  As an older woman (50), I have seen many friends change their minds about children when they hit about 37.

Other than the kid issue, though, I see no problem with you dating or marrying a guy 20 years older than you.  Happiness and love are elusive.  If you have found what you are looking for, fight for it!

Good luck to you both.  I hope it all works out.[/quote]
