Marrying a younger guy
Salaam all. Recently I met someone 8 years younger than me. I am a divorced mother. He was never married before. I’m 40 and he’s 32. We are both working (not together).
He is very much interested in marrying me. He is a great guy, takes care of himself and good on deen, prays etc. He is working on being financially sound currently and will approach my father soon. I am divorced like I said. I live with my kids. I’m a haafidha and I like to try and stay as close to the deen. Not claiming to be perfect but just trying to give you guys some background.
We spoke a little previously and he is quite mature and respectful mashaaAllah. We do not talk online since it’s not right and we want to keep things halal.
I really want to hear your opinions on this situation. Would I be ruining his life because I come with baggage? Or is he being immature and this is just a phase… JazakumAllah Khair.
Edit: I posted this about 5 months ago. He is building himself financially to come ask my family. I’m just doubtful about one thing - his anger. When he’s angry, he says hurtful things. He says he gets angry at anything that will take me away from him.
Recently, he got extremely upset about something and said now he understands why my ex left me. It hurt me deeply. Is this like a red flag for bigger things to happen? Or am I overthinking this.
And he admitted he’s actually 30 and not 32.
