Yes if you really do love each other you will be happy and your relationship will work.
As for the age gap if she’s alright with that it’s okay and she and your kids are about the same age so they would be friends. I wish you the best of luck goodbye

What's it like dating a younger man?
I am a 32F who has been hitting it off with a younger guy (24) at my gym and he finally asked me out and I'm thinking of saying yes, but I'm not sure. I like him, but I've never dated anyone so much younger than me, so I'd love to hear about other people's experiences dating younger men. What were your age ranges and how did it go? Did it turn into a long-term thing? Ideally, this wouldn't be just a fling for me, so I'm curious about the pros and cons of an age gap romance. Is this age gap too big? (He's not a baby, but he's still pretty young.) Would you recommend I say yes or just keep things friendly?

How can I reconnect with my ex after a painful breakup that happened just before our wedding?
My story: I was in a deep, emotional relationship that almost ended in marriage. We truly loved each other, but we had many ups and downs. I would often get angry when I felt misunderstood or disrespected, and she would pull away when she felt hurt or pressured. We both wanted love, but we didn’t know how to stay calm when emotions got intense. A week before our wedding, we had another painful argument that brought back all the old issues. I lost control, got angry, and took back the gifts I had given her. That was the final breakup. After that, she and her family treated me very harshly, and her father even threatened me. It’s been a while since then. I’ve done therapy and tried to understand my emotions better. But I still think about her — not out of obsession, but because I truly care. I believe what we had was real, even if it went wrong. My question: Is it ever possible to rebuild communication after such a painful breakup, when both sides have been deeply hurt and pride is involved? If yes, how can I approach her again in a respectful and emotionally mature way?

Why am I still single?
I'm in my late 20s and have never been in a serious relationship. I'm just tired and frustrated. I don't know where to meet people and I'm not good at talking to new people. Should I just give up even trying?

Is there any truth to right person, wrong time?
Okay I was with this guy for about 6 months and I really think we could have been great together, but things just kept getting in the way of our relationship. He had just gotten out of a serious relationship and I think he needed more time to process things and move on. And I am finally hitting my stride with my career and have been devoting a ton of time to work, which made him feel like I wasn't making our relationship a priority. Last week we finally decided to call it quits and while it was the right thing to do, I'm still so frustrated because I feel like it was a case of "right person, wrong time." Does anyone else believe this? Do you think it's true that a "right person, wrong time" relationship can work eventually? Should I give up? I feel like he could have been my soul mate if Life with a capital L just hadn't kept getting in the way.
