I completely agree with you all in regards to figuring out the "kids question". The answer to that question is definitely a make it or break it kind of thing. I could never give up my dream of having children.
Our situation is kind of more complicated though. There are other issues that would need to be dealt with before we even have that discussion and his separation has only been about two years so he has more pressing things to think about than whether he wants to have more kids five years from now. He extremely loves being a father though. And he has asked me how many children I want to have. He even asked me how I would feel if I only had a daughter because he has some kind of theory that athletic men, such as himself, are prone to making female babies. haha Also a few months ago he mentioned to me that I would make very beautiful babies... but on the other hand he also did the math and pointed out that if we were to have children at some point then he would be nearly 70 by the time all of his kids left for college... yeah that's kind of a huge deal...

Anyway, I guess at this point I'm more focused on the issue of him inevitably slowing down before I am ready to - as we get older together. At 73, his dad still jogs everyday though. And my man is still very athletic and generally healthy, thank God.

okay fine the whole thing is a mess! and even writing this post makes me think that I probably shouldn't get myself involved even deeper than I already am.
But,, he fulfills me on a spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical level that I have never experienced with anyone else before. How often does someone like that even come along?
