In all honesty, this is just creepy and wrong, your under age and he is old enough to be your dad, not cool.

My man. First off don't get married. Not till you are at least 35. This woman that's 40 years old. She's getting a good deal right now. But you know she is going to die way before your time.

My friend was married to a man who was 24 yrs older than her, but she was 23 yrs old when they got married. They were together 24 yrs before he passed away from cancer. A person changes so much between the ages of 17 and 23. Your hopes, dreams, ideas all change. If you do want to marry this person, I would suggest you wait until you are at least 23 yrs old before you do it. If he has children, they are probably your age or almost your age. And that can cause problems.

You have raised another point. The prospect of a long widowhood is also not unlikely if the man is so much older.

The reason I can't (don't want to) find someone else is because I'm already happy with this person. Yeah I tried dating and meeting other people but I can't stop thinking about him. I will regret it later if we seperate.
Sunflowerseeds,

you have your WHOLE life ahead of you to "find" someone new. If you leave this man, I promise it won't be the end of the world. You are not even 18 yet for crying out loud. Have you thought of college? A career? What you wanna be when you grow up? You are way too young to be messing with a man like that, who is in fact old enough to be your father. In fact, how old is your dad anyways?

I'm not going to say do/don't do it because I'm single and not qualified to give relationship advice but it's a huge decision and tonnes of prayer goes with big decisions... esp. if he's 40 wooooow lol

To me, I would feel like I was dating my dad. I'm almost 24 and I tend to go for guys who are anywhere from a year to about tens years older then me, but that's my limit. If you feel like it's okay deep down in your soul, then so be it.

Wow, maybe your dad is younger than me... :confused:
