Have you actually brought up the big WHAT IF? to him? Y'know, WHAT IF you two got together, and has he thought about the ramifications in the age difference? Is he just agreeing with you to be agreeable in a situation where he feels you have the upper hand, or does he have a lot unsaid?

IF he doesn't have a bunch of wild oats to sow and IF he would be happy without babies... I'm just thinking out loud here & don't have any major opinions...

Stranger things have worked out. And simpler things haven't. Food for thought.
