    Wow I read every single comment and I don't think anyone was rude towards you, OP. You let us into your situation and asked us to judge it!

    I don't care about your age gap, but it's extremely clear you are not ready for marriage. What is the rush? And with children in the picture, you need to slow.it.down.

    Yes, yes, we're rude, judgemental bitches who have no stake in your life which is why we are telling you to slow your roll. Also, use punctuation!

    @op if you really live together then why would you say you "practically" live together? My shit is shit.

    OP, if you wanted us to simply validate you, you should have asked for that instead of asking us what we really thought.

    Please tell me how these people are being rude. You came on to an Internet forum asking for an opinion, and then when we didn't say "Go for it! Marry this guy after a month!" You got extremely pissy and hostile.

    I mean, who is being rude here?

    You should be scared to tell your mom! If your mom wasn't concerned you were marrying a man twice your age that you will know a total of seven months by the time your married she doesn't care! Frankly, I could care less about the age difference. I think you couldn't know that man even the slightest in 2 months. What is the hurry?

    And if you moved yourself and your CHILDREN in with someone after knowing them for TWO MONTHS... Good luck.

    Op you asked the ladies and gents opinions on what to do on an open thread. There is no need for cursing or none of that nonsense. Everyone is just giving opinions and reason on possibilities why your mom would be against this. You ask and you shall receive Hun . Just because we don't blow rainbows and butterfly's to your situation does not make us rude or otherwise. Oh by the way your on the internet don't forget that thanks!

    Marriage isn't peaches and cream. It's hard work. It's more than romance and more than flowers. It's dealing with his socks on the floor and that one coffee cup he can't put away. It's him ignoring the 5 curling irons that litter the bathroom counter. It's working together to make it work.

    Have you discussed your children? Have you figured out what his role in their lives will be? Have you sat down and seriously talked about raising your kids, discipline, who's in charge and what his relationship will be with their father(s).

    But now I want ice cream with peaches so thanks for that

    @Jashanda - You asked for opinions. People gave you their opinions. You don't have to like them, but lashing out like you have here is against our Community Guidelines. Please read them.
