Just make sure you earn enough money to support 3 kids.

She can’t wait too long due to her age. How do we know how long any marriage will last?

Thank you, I was wondering which thread to post it, Also I think most responses are from the same poster


I'm not sure how to ask Jeff to move it, will he just see this?

Because it's the best/healthiest relationship I have ever been in in my life. And I'm not someone to take relationships lightly. I never thought I'd get divorced, but it happened after many years of abuse. We were already planning to wait a year or so after marriage. And I'm not 100 percent sure we will, I'm just looking for been there done that parents

Agree that the kids already have more than enough to deal with.

OP here....my kids are doing great. Their parents are a lot more healthy and happy currently then they were 3 years ago still together. Which makes my children's lives much more stable. So thanks for your 3 comments but you didn't really answer any of my questions

I wouldn't add anything to an already-complex equation.

Seems like too much for your older two. I wouldn't do it. They already have a lot going on to cope with.

I'm divorced with 2 elementary age kids. I'm getting married this year and we have discussed having a baby. We are a same sex couple so obviously this will take some planning, not to mention we will be 39/40 and obviously age makes this more difficult. I'm curious for those of you who have started over with a baby in a second marriage with older kids. How is it, what are the positives and negatives. TIA
