Should I give him up or stay?

[Anonymous]

My partner's family disapproves of me because of our 14-year age gap and that I have kids (same father) from my divorce. They refused to even meet me. He wants to elope and tell them later. Should I give him up or stay?

His family is right, but it's your choice if to give up on dating him.

Ok. Why are they right?

[Berethor]

14-year age gap in your favor and you have kids, it's not a good deal for him.

[Asker]

Because...

A lot of baggage.

He loves my kids.
