I am a 25-year old female who has been dating a 42-year old man. We have been dating for about a year and a half. I am also a mother of two children. When me and this man first saw one another we knew we had to get to know one another. A little in to our relationship my youngest child developed some health issues that as a result, I lost hours at my job. And, in the end, I left my job, which my boy friend wanted me to leave any way. He wanted me to stay home and be a full-time mother.
