- Dear KSV,
- I long for a love of this sort. Yet as you mentioned he has a
- problem with you having been married, and having a child. I remember being
- 21, and not wanting children. I do now, and I'm only 24, 3 years later.
- I believe it must be a maturity thing, but not an imaturity thing. Love
- is something good, and I think you should hold on to whatever love you two
- have. I have been though a lot in the past 2 years that have (so to speak)
- made me grow up. I used to be afraid of getting close to a woman with kids
- because I wasn't mature enough to handle rasing them. And I knew it. I
- don't think that I was all that imature though. Perhaps this is what he
- is going through? I hope this helps a little. I would like to be kept
- informed on how this goes. Love is a tender thing. Don't let go of what
- you have. But if he tells you about this other woman, and you get jealous,
- don't have him tell you. Caring needs to be for yourself as much as
- for him.
