Hi, I work as a physical therapist, have trained as a couples therapist and am now studying part time to become an osteopath. I was a lawyer for several years before that.

I like yoga, scuba, skiing, hiking, movies (old and new), comedy, theatre, watching and listening to music, and football.

I live with my partner in Acton in West London in a house I have owned since 2006. I have lived in London all my life and am very settled. I have for a long time wanted to be a dad. When we met in 2013 we talked about becoming parents. We tried naturally but with no success. As a result of many discussions over the time we came to understand that my feelings about parenthood are much stronger than hers. She loves children and is devoted to her two now-teenage nieces. We had also discussed adoption and even surrogacy. But ultimately she now feels at her age that the time to be a mother herself has now passed and she is at peace with that.

We love each other very much. So the idea of separating so I could meet someone new to have a child is not what I want to do. Co-parenting seems to be an ideal way of becoming a Dad without losing this very special relationship. I hope to make a good connection with someone who is open to raising a child in this way.

As for my age, I am probably older than most of the men on here. But I am healthy, active and don't smoke.

I am looking to connect with someone who is settled in London.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

:-)
