Depends on how much he is investing into the relationship to make it work. Ask yourself, is he faithful?  Does he take care of all of you? If the relationship is suffering, never suffer just because your kids need a father. Even if you had to break up, he will always be their father. You shouldn't be the only one contributing efforts to make it work. It takes two. Don't worry about your age. As long as you guys are taking care of your children together, you can focus on you & the kids. For your kids sake, wouldn't be so quick to jump into the dating game eitherif you decided to leave your current one. If his habits are small, then some can be worked out but it's up to him, because you can't change him. If you wanted to be married & he is with you that long & hasn't married you yet, then you may consider moving on if you are not comfortable there.
