Sounds like you have insecurity issues as well concerning your kids, wondering if it's normal, so forth. I've known several people (usually female) who had no father in the home or the father died early in the childs life. The ones that I know seem to favor men 20 years or so older. And based on my experience, the relationships are as healthy and vibrant as any other.
Sounds too like the two of you need to bring this into the open. What about this is abnormal to you? Then, answr to that what or why and keep asking until you can't answer the question. That is where the heart of the issues reside. Make sense?
Another scenario for both of you to consider. If noted this particular difficulty with two of my closest friends. She is 60, he is 80. This is where age becomes a factor. Health issues (being elderly), sexual issues, dealing with the kids (he's more grandfatherly and she isore motherly)...causes friction.
Lots to consider. Yet, love will make what seems difficult, or impossible, remarkably workable. So, have faith and deal with the hurdles one at a time. Sorry so long. I hate long blogs, although I do them myself. Good luck!
