Sadly, this 34-year-old woman feels like she’s some sort of failure because she has not yet given birth to kids of her own.
While she’s dating an amazing 35-year-old man named Gaspard, who is everything she’s ever dreamed of, that’s not enough.
Gaspard has two kids from a previous relationship, and he has 50/50 custody of them.
“The weight of just being a stepmother is starting to become heavy,” she explained. “Everyone around me has children.”
“My best friends, cousins, brother, and coworkers—all of them are parents. On my side, despite my deep desire to have children, I never had the chance to get pregnant in my previous relationship.”
When Gaspard entered her life, he admitted to her that he did not want to have any more kids.
He also stated he wanted to get a procedure done to prevent any unplanned pregnancies. Back then, she made peace with his position on children, as she felt like it wasn’t her place to say anything.
It’s been two years since this topic came up, and since Gaspard failed to get the procedure done, she’s starting to resent his position on more kids.
“My biological clock has been ticking loudly since I was 15,” she said. “Back then, my group of friends made a bet that I would be the first to have kids because my maternal side was already so strong, and I talked a lot about my desire to have a family of three kids. Twenty years later, they all have families, but I don’t.”
