Is there a future for my relationship? I am 29 dating a divorced 46 year old man with kids. The reason is that I am fed up with the baby boys at my age. This man is better but he is busy with his kids. I'm confused as to what to do for myself, any suggestions?

This is a decision that I have had to make in the past. The first thing that I had to realize is that I will never come before the kids and nor should I. I guess the question is if you are wanting to be part of the lives of his children. If you do, then this could work. If you want to be first and not have a relationship with his kids, then you might want to reconsider. Has he invited to you be around his kids and do activities with them? If you are willing to hang out with him and his kids, then there could definitely be a future.
