This is pretty long but i need some help...


Im 18 years old, i really dont know how old others are on this site but i know thats too young to actually "fall in love" but i feel otherwise.. Now i wish to share with you my story and see if you can help me with it.

I just got out of a 4 year relationship about 2 weeks ago and have no plans on going back to it, mainly because there was nothing but arguing in that relationship and felt no need in it for the rest of my life! So im happy being single when me and my best friend "P" (who is 29) talk about his soon to be divorced wife, we actually realize how much we 1) have in common, 2) everything we want in life are the same 3) that we have feelings for each other. I recieved a letter from him that reads this....

I LOVE YOU in so many ways and for so many reasons, because you know me and understand me , like no one else ever could. You believe in my dreams ......the way that I believe in yours. You listen to my problems and help me when I need support. You have completely changed my life for the better and I thank GOD everyday for sending someone so SPECIAL to me . Most of all for your Friendship and LOVE. You bring out the best in me Ashley .....and I love you for it !!

I honestly thought that LOVE had past me by ...and then you came into my life . You and I belong together !!! I cannot wait until we can be together spirtually , sexually, and emotionally ...............TOGETHER AS ONE .

What else can I say:
I love you

at this point i realize that he is the one i love.. and would love to be with for the rest of my life...

I know that he is married and i know for a fact that i will not do anyting with him untill he gets divorced

well here are the problems:

1) he is 11 years older than me, still is married (soon to be divorced), and has 2 children that i absolutely love and we bond very well *which when he gets divorced none of this will bother me*

2) my parents might not approve of the fact that 1) he has kids 2) that he is so much older than me.. their whole view is that he wants only one thing from me... and i doubt we can change that

(my parents are actually the only problem that will be in our relationship)

If we do decide to date, how should i go about this... what are some of the rights/ wrongs of this relationship

please help

Oh i had forgotten to mention that they are in no way getting a divorce because of me!, They have had major problems before i ever came into the picture
