I love my younger lover but he wants children

Dear Coleen I'm a divorced woman aged 42 and I've been seeing a man who's 10 years younger. Our relationship is a lot of fun and we're both very attracted to each other.

However, I've realised I'm falling for him in a deeper way and I think he feels the same. The problem is, I know he wants kids in the future. In fact, he said to me when we were first dating, “This would be perfect, apart from the fact youre never going to have a baby with me”.

I know that sounds harsh when it’s written down in black and white, but it was said very early on when we were joking around and when neither of us thought the relationship would go anywhere. It was all about fun, friendship and sex, and nothing too serious then.
