I must say that I keep returning to my thoughts that this age thing is in fact a problem for me. The fact you have known her since she was younger I do find disturbing.
I have one other comment though. Why would you try this relationship on at all if you are unprepared for the consequences of raising her children. How unfair to her. This again causes me to question your motives.

To answer your question I’m probably a bit selfish - but aren’t we all. All my life I’ve been looking at a lot of empty space relationshipwise - she’s a real live person and waiting for another somebody might be another regret. Yes loneliness drives me towards her I wish it was something more noble. I haven’t done anything yet but if I’m sitting here five years from now kicking myself for not trying I might feel even worse. I’m actually quite amazed that I can still find my judgement intact enough to consider the impact on her kids. I just feel left out of the whole I love you scenario.... honesty is the best policy I guess....
