[quote=Anonymous]OP. I'm the PP whose husband was 44 and 46 when our kids were born.  I've only scanned a few pages so hopefully I didn't miss a major detail, but he sounds like a good dude. He's not screwing around with you. He knows what he wants and if you do too, it can be great. I was pretty honest with my husband within a few months of dating that I was only interested in pursuing a relationship that was going to go somewhere. Within 6 months he'd told me he loved me (he said it first and well before I was ready to reciprocate) and also that he wasn't planning on going anywhere.  Maturity makes a big difference.

He had not had a serious relationship that lasted more than a year prior to meeting me. He just didn't see the value in sticking with someone that it didn't feel right with. We got engaged after about 2 years and married 9 months later. We've been together 10 years now.

One of the things that I remember Carolyn Hax saying was really important was to think about what your partner would be like if you were to break up. Vindictive or mean? Do not marry. But if he'd likely be fair and reasonable, to pursue. That really stuck with me. [/quote]
