She Broke Up With Her Boyfriend Because He Told Her That He Didn’t Want To Get Married Or Have Kids, But Now He Says He Has Changed His Mind And Does Want All Of This
This 25-year-old woman spent a couple of years dating her 26-year-old boyfriend, and she says that the first 2 years of their relationship were wonderful.
Back then, her boyfriend really made her feel like he really got her, and he also made her feel super safe as well.
But in time, her boyfriend revealed to her that he had zero interest in getting married, having kids, or purchasing a home with her at any point in his life.
That became problematic for her, as she really does want all of those things for herself. Then, she began to realize that her boyfriend was super into his career and his own interests.
A year ago, her boyfriend went through several months where he was so busy that he caused her to feel really alone.
It was then that she and her boyfriend both thought it would be best to open up their relationship and see other people.
So, in the middle of all of this, she then came to the conclusion that she and her boyfriend were just far more different than they were similar.
He’s a complete introvert, whereas she is an extrovert. Another example is that they don’t share any of the same interests except for traveling.
“Gradually, I started to feel more and more distant and finally gathered up the courage to break up because I do want a traditional family,” she explained.

“It was incredibly painful, and I felt like I loved him so much and didn’t really care for no one else. But it had to be done. Fast forward three days after the breakup, my BF says he realized he’s making a huge mistake.”
“That he loves me so much he wants us to be together forever. He can see value in family and imagine us having kids together, playing with them, and going on holidays. As soon as he says that, all the pain, the heartbreak, and any feelings really disappear. I cannot feel anything.”
Her boyfriend’s revelation came a week ago, and in the days after, he insisted that he had changed his mind and wanted all of the future plans she did.
He began discussing their wedding, he picked out engagement rings, and he tried to spend a lot of time with her.
He clearly was all of a sudden all-in on their relationship and was making an honest effort. Although this is what she has wanted all along, she’s just left feeling guilty.
“He says he’ll never meet someone like me again and that he feels so satisfied in our relationship,” she said.
“He also wants to go on more dates and participate more in my hobbies. And I don’t know why, but I can’t feel anything but guilt anymore. Even though when we were breaking up, I felt like I loved him more than anyone else in the world.”
“I also have this feeling that there might be someone better suited for me out there and feel very guilty about that too. I really, really don’t know what to do. I’m extremely confused. Should I let him have a second chance? Or break his heart and move one?”
