Question

Help answer this question below.

I am a 23 yo single mom to an infant & just started dating a guy who is 24 years old (47yo). He has a 10 yo & 17 yo. My mom doesn't approve. Is this age difference too much? Will we not have enough in common for it to last? We like each other a lot.

    Age is not the most important thing in a relationship. If there's something about him you find special, then he may be the one for you, so why not give it a go.

    The only 'but' I'd add is this. Remember that age difference can cause pain and sorrow in later life. When you're 65 and retiring, he will be nearly 90, and may need hospitalisation, or may already be dead. I know this can happen at any time of life, but it is more likely to happen as he gets older.

    Other than that it is how you get on together, what you share, that is important. These things will see you through rough patches. I hope you choose wisely and never regret your choice.
