very interesting responses so far..i can see into what you're all saying.
maleficient pointed out something that is very true too: if there are offspring in the picture, a lot more thought and consideration has to go into the equation. And I agree too, that the positive has to definately outweigh the negative.
Is it really bad to be worried for myself, if my SO is 12 years older than me, is divorced and has a kid? I love him very very much, but I can't help worrying about accepting all this baggage (which is "past", but undoubtedly affects him today)..In his eyes, if we end the relationship because I can;t accept these things, it means that I don;t really love him.
