Its probably her or the dynamic. 4 kids is a lot but its workable. If she dates younger men and she doesn't want more kids that is a huge issue.

Do they know she has 3 kids? Probably not.


Yes she’s very open about it. None have seemed to care. She mostly dates younger guys though. She is 38 and they are 25-30


So you're saying those guys probably don't care because they're not in it for long term.

Two words: medical experiments.

Does she want to date you and you don't want to? Then, yes, be honest. But why would you speak for everyone else?

They are her kids. If guys are scared off by the fact she has three kids, this benefits her and the kids. It would be much worse to marry a man who doesn’t want to be a committed stepfather.

My cousin had three kids with three different dads by age 23 (long story). Her childhood best friend married her and they have been happily married for 25 years.

Yikes!

He must have been around 50 or 60 and she must have been in her 30s.

I would not say anything because, well... what is she supposed to do about it? You are stating (what you think is) the obvious.

Do you want her to stop talking to you for a while? Go ahead and tell her.

If it's that obvious, she already knows deep down.

Honesty is the best policy.
Deep down inside she must already know this though.
Am I right?
