My last 2 ex gfs did not want children. We broke up for completely unrelated reasons.
Today my current gf told me she might never want children.
I am amazed at the consistency of child preferences of women I date. Is it becoming more prevalant these days or is there some other reason for this pattern? Might I be attracting a certain sort of woman and why? My gf’s reason is her fear of having children will affect her career progression and her indignance about the unfairness that men do not have to give birth. My exes did not want children for fear of damaging their figure.
I am not opposed to not having children but my status quo is want to have children as I like them and that is also the usual path in life.
I understand the benefits of not having children but I am not completely convinced.
Here are what netizens think:
- Don’t waste each other’s time if this is something you cannot overlook. One of my friend who became a mom said she will not have anymore children and will stop at one. The world of today is unlike the past. Even though she has a supportive husband and family and she is able to work, she will not want to bring more children into this world. Covid, war, climate change etc. She thinks she has brought a human into this world to suffer. Even if domestic, finance, spousal support are not an issue, there may be other unforeseen concerns and reasons for not wanting a child.
- You can never force someone to be a parent if they never want to. There’s no need to justify why they never want kids. This is their personal choice. Since she made her stand clear, u might seriously want to consider whether to continue or end it in order not to waste each other’s time. If having kid is one of your requirement, u might want to make it clear first before even getting together in the first place.
- Just shoot inside la
- Raising a kid ain’t easy. I goes beyond just the financial aspect. I can bluntly say not enough Parents ever considered if they’d actually make good Parents, and raise their kids right by instilling them with proper values and morals which shapes them through life.
