Her Boyfriend Wants To Make Sure She Can Actually Get Pregnant And Have A Child Before He Commits To Marrying Her
Four years ago, this 26-year-old woman started dating her boyfriend, who is 40. And after she and her boyfriend decided to become exclusive, they also agreed on two major life decisions: they wanted to get married and have a child together soon.
Due to that, she also felt obligated to tell her boyfriend that she suspects it might take a bit longer for her to get pregnant.
“He said that was okay and that we would go through everything together,” she recalled.
Since then, she has tried to bring up the topic of marriage numerous times over the past two years. Yet, her boyfriend always just avoided talking about the topic in any specific terms.
“Which made me question our relationship, but everything else between us works great. So I tried to find peace,” she explained.
Well, just yesterday, she attempted to bring up the topic of marriage again. And to her surprise, her boyfriend actually admitted that he did not want to tie the knot until she actually got pregnant and gave birth to their child.
According to her boyfriend, he wanted to do that before they got married because he did not want to risk her being unable to become pregnant.
She was understandably taken aback by that, too, and reminded her boyfriend of their discussion during their first date.
More specifically, how she opened up about the fact that it may be more challenging for her to have children, and her boyfriend promised that he was okay with that.

She also reiterated how it was very difficult for her to open up about that, but she just wanted to be honest out of respect.
“I know people can change their mind,” she vented, “But I think I’m more hurt that he kept avoiding telling me this.”
On top of that, she revealed how, back when she was just 21 years old, her doctor told her that she should begin trying to have children before she turned 25. After that, her doctor claimed that her chances of having kids would only decrease.
So, she is starting to feel as though she gave her boyfriend a critical window of her life, which might have cost her the ability to have kids.
And now, ever since that conversation with her boyfriend, she has been left wondering how to move forward in her relationship.
Does it sound like her boyfriend is committed to their relationship or just the idea of having a child? If you were in her shoes, would you stay with your partner? Or do you think she should cut her losses and find someone else?
