Can it really work with a younger man?

I am 35 he is 25 I have a young child, work part time, rent my home and suffer anxiety so I know he loves me for me. He is reasonably responsible works hard and although still lives at home with one parent he pays he's own way. I just don't want to feel I am tieing him down he says he loves me and wants to look after us but I want marriage and maybe another child (undecided) and he says he wants to make me happy and loves me I believe he does although question if he really knows what that means. I just don't want to waste either of our time if there is no future in us.

He has been in the same job several years and wants to do something different but unsure as to what. He want's to eventually live with us but yes I feel having not lived on he's own first could be an issue although he does do household chores and isn't reliant on the parent and as previously mentioned he pays he's way. He has had two real relationships (one he loved) the rest I'd describe as extended conquests. I think he has very little experience with compromise in relationship and I know I am the first to have a sexual likes/dislikes conversation with him. I think when I am 55 and he is 45 there will be less stigma from others and we will be free to enjoy us as child/ren have grown up and we are both still working hopefully in jobs we enjoy.

Go for it, enjoy ... life is too short !!!

I hope it can!! Currently in a similar situation myself. Im a 24 yr old male and have been dating a 33 yr old woman. Were together 7 mths, we had an unplanned pregnancy and she miscarried and said she wants to tey again, with or without me...first I was scared said I wasnt ready. I live her with everything ive got and told her I would be willing to giver her a child if she will marry me.. she seems uncompromising and doesnt want marriage....she tells me she doesn't think im ready for a babyand not ready to be tied down.all I know is how I feel about her and that if we had a child I would love it
