Is a relationship between an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old mother worth pursuing?

Sure, why not? If you both are mature enough to handle a relationship, and are in love, no reason not to think it isn't worth pursuing. That's the broad general answer. the fact she is a mother is something the make will have to deal with and be prepared to fully accept what that means and what responsibilities go along with it. She won't be as free to go out at nights, be spontaneous in many ways, or have the overall freedom to do whatever you feel like doing whenever. These aren't bad things, just things you need to know ahead of time. In the end it is the other person that counts, and how much you want to be with them that matters. Not whether they are already a parent or have some other items from the past.

Sometimes, it is not up to you to decide - 'relationship' is something that relates between 2 or more entities, and in most cases, people, and we say build a 'relationship', that means it is up to those involved, directly or indirectly to contribute the effort, time, or passion to do so.

At the end, only God knows whether a relationship could be 'developed', 'maintained' in the course of time.

Thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, I'm the mother... My concerns are that he may be too immature to understand my role as a parent and where he'd fit into our lives. But I guess I won't know unless I give it a go will I?! Thanks again! : )
