Mother's out there, I need your thoughts. Please Help me?

While I may be a guy let me see if I can shed a little light on what she's going through. I think I can because my wife was 11 years older than I although we were both older than the two of you when we got together. Believe it or not she is trying to be practical. She's thinking in the long term as she should. Slow things down. Yes. A deep and lasting love takes time to mature and grow not just a few months. Her son not getting attached to someone who may leave. Again, yes. She's thinking of what's best for him. She's also thinking of the long term between the two of you and even the three of you counting her son. Will you be there for them in a year, 5 years, 20 and so on. A little bit is what will your family and hers think of your relationship. And even what can a younger man like you see in an older lady like her. I know because I went through this and it even came up once in a while after we were married. I feel the two of you are right at the bottom edge in age of making this work and if you truly love this lady and can make a life long commitment with her then continue on. Take it slowly as she asks and do all you can to honestly show her the kind of person you are.
