Im 30, he's 18. Big age difference, but yet we have so much in common and hit it off. Should I end it? My son is half his age.

yes, you should - you are old enough to know better. If you can't do it for yourself, then end it for your son's sake.

If he took you to his high school senior prom and you were comfortable with it and you are both comfortable going to each other's parent's house for Christmas dinner, then have a wonderful relationship. But if you're not comfortable in those situations, than you may want to re-evaluate how much you really have in common. :)

Yes. You're thirty years old. At eighteen, he is just starting life. You have a son. Not only are you older and settling down, but you have a child who will never respect him and whose respect for you may go down. What example does that set for your son? Is this an online relationship?

No. Life is short. Age shouldn't matter. Not even at all. And, there are old souls who are that age. And, young souls who are your age.

An 18 year old is certainly capable of committing to someone who is 30, but it depends on your individual situation. I'm engaged to a guy 14 years my junior who proposed to me when he was 20. His brother was 5 when we met while mine was over 40. Family approval is hard to acquire when the guy is younger I've discovered. It's important you not let him depend on you financially, though. If he likes your kid and vice versa, and he has a good work ethic then see what happens! If he's a good role model it doesn't matter what his age is. A kid will not usually care how old an adult is - unless he doesn't act like one! 18 is a little young in my opinion, but my guy was 20, he loves kids and wants one of his own with me very soon. Good luck!

Facvt from fiction, truth from diction. Why in Sam hell for? Do you want to end it because you make some sloped brow chuckleheads uncomfortable or because you feel something (or don't feel something) down the road? So long as you and he are happy and have a commited respectful union who give a flying rat **** what anyone else thinks. Who's relationship is it anyhow? Your's and his or a horde of thick-witted dullards?
