Should I explore this relationship further?

About 9 years ago I was with a man who was 16 years my senior. It was one of the greatest love affairs that I've ever had. When he met me he told me that I was going to be his wife. We broke up about a year later. We've always stayed in constant contact. He has always been a supportive friend, bt always let me know that he was still interested. Well here we are 9 years later. I have children from my most recent relationship and we have been communicating. All the old feelings are starting to come back and I am remembering why I fell in love with this man in the first place. But he wants forever and so do I. But I hesitate because he so much older than me. When we met I was 20 and he was 36. Now it is 9 years later. Could it be possible? What are your views on this?

    he is 44 so he is still young. I am 40 and so far so good. Nothing has changed. I still feel like i am in my twenties i mean health wise. Now when you are 40 he will be 56. So as time goes by you will feel the age difference and probably for some things he will have less energy compared to you. I mean sports, and running after kids and maybe even sex. However if you love him and those feelings are true from both sides and i mean really true, no desperation or just lust, then think carefully on this as good loving guys are hard to find.
