OT - relationship question (No such thing as love?) Age differnece?

Hi all, I'm sorry to use this place for personal stuff.

I've been having issues with my partner and I know PT forums are made up of mostly females, so I was hoping to get some opinions.

The history: My partner, let's call him bruce, was working as a bar tender. I went to the bar every friday with work mates for happy hour. We live in a small town and I noticed that he had been there for awhile but never seemed to have friends. I asked him if he wanted to have dinner some time as a friend. It escalated.

We've been together almost 3 years now. At the start he made a big show of saying "I'll never love you". He has since admited that he does love me, however he has never ever said it without my prompting. I have to say to himeither "I love you" (then he says I love you too) or I say "Do you love me" and he says "yes". Never in our entire time together has he ever said "I love you".

I am 26, he is 41. He doesn't want children at all. There is no wriggle room there. I am 26 and love this guy. Right now I don't want children, but ever since we had this discussion (where he revealed he didn't want children) I've been thinking about it every day. I have had a couple of weird dreams. In one Bruce said to me "I'm going to give you everything you want - lets get married and have kids" and I remember being so happy.

Bruce and I have a lot in comomn but I can't help but kniwing that he is 14 years older than me. If we both die at the same age I will be alone forr 14 years. Because there will be no children or grandchildren to keep me company.

I don't really klnow what I'm after with this post. I just want to hear from people who haven't had kids. My life is in front of me and to be with him means no chidren..
