Hi, is it bad to date a separated man with one kid and 12years older than you? please advise.?
ok am 23 and the guy is 36 he & the wife disagreed on as the wife used to cheat on him with other men a proof that he found that he had been cheating with 9 diffrent men & eneded up geting a child with one of the men when asked she denied bt 2yrs later admited that its true she did a mistake instead of changing she went on and when asked y (by the husband) she said that eveybody can liv his/her owl life & that no one was stuck to the other. she stays with the child but its 2yrs and above they havv not met/visited each other bt the father talks with the child thro phone. tOKAY the kids r two one his & the other from a diffrent man if he asks the kids to visit him he is only given his & the other one taken to the other man.
the guy loves me & treats me as a child, he says that as soon as the divorse process will be over we will wed the other one was a civil marriage.

Goodness, no, of course it isn't! That's assuming you are not too young (eg. over 21) and know what you're doing, why not? There are many benefits to dating such a man. You can see what a father he would be like to your children by how he relates to his child. He is likely to be very grateful for your attentions as his options for dating are restricted by his age and having a child with him, so he's less likely to stray and will appreciate you more. He's going to want to settle down and find a Mom for his child pretty quick - which could be good or bad depending what you want - and will mean he won't have commitment issues like so many other younger/single men. He's likely to be more secure in his work and have a good job. And 12 years age gap is nothing really.
Oh, I assume the kid isn't the one that's 12 years older than you LOL.
Only issue I can see is that he needs to get divorced before he can marry you, but you can ask him yourself about why he is separated.
Anyway, good luck, I'm sure it will be fine, so have fun.

NO! When I meet my Husband he was separated and had a 5 year old daughter. I did however let him know that until his divorce was final that we would not sleep together. Well on the day of the divorce he surprised me will a apartment for us a ring and a great night.He was also 8 years older and we were married and had a great life. He passed away right after our 17 year old son passed away. And I will always love him!

In a normal setting, this is entirely possible. My mum has a few friends with husbands over 10 years older than them.
However, it also depends. How old are you currently? If you're above 23/24, I'd say go for it if you like him!
If you're in your teens, you might want to either wait until you're older or give it up.

yea cuz if u get married (if it goes that far) the previous wife will always be in ur life and wives usually get jealous to see their husband with a prettier and YOUNGER woman than them and havin a great time she may get on ur nerves sumtimes he mite have to watch the kid the kid will probably blame u for the separation or dislike u and anytime u try to ask him/her sumthin they may say ur not their mother alot basically a lot of baggage can come into that relationship

Yes...Rule of thumb...Never date a man who is in the midst of a divorce. It is wise to wait until his divorce is finalized because in case he and his wife decides to reconcile, you do not want to be stuck in the middle and the reason why their marriage could not survive.

Nope, not at all, if you love him, you love him.
