Hi Matthew! Actually, I meant to post a follow-up on that one. I neglected to mention a few things about that relationship and now I have some questions since Things Are Not Looking Good. First the facts. She is in her mid-thirties and has three kids from two previous marriages. I am in my mid-twenties -- ok, 26 -- and have no kids, never been married. She's now getting cold feet about a) getting married and b) the relationship as a whole. Now obviously, few of you know me, and none of you [except Eric and Kaarel] have met her, so asking for advice is out. So let me put this into more general terms. Does anyone have pointers for mixed-age relationships? Kids? [I get along great with them] Does anyone have pointers for long-distance versions of said? I received some very useful replies, and I will summarize these soon. After I get some sleep. :-) Reid "LISTEN. Kid. Cerebus is in love with your WIFE."
