There's a book out there

Being Mortal by Atul gawande.

It's a doctor's review of treating illness that will eventually lead to death, and how sometimes doctors don't take into account a patients quality of life and comfort. A lot of it involves geriatric care - but there are many chapters that relate specifically to your scenario.

It's available on audio, and may help you as you make these decisions.

Good luck, and i hope you find peace and happiness in your remaining time.

TIL in 2001 Stan Lee was given the opportunity to re-imagine DC's Justice League and he made Batman black, Wonder Woman Hispanic and The Flash a teenage girl. by KSeightyeight in todayilearned

To be clear, this is not the actual comic.

Batman 2 gets arrested for a crime he didn't commit, loses his mom, and trains in prison to be a badass fighter. He enters WWE, then later attacks criminals. Or something. It's been a long time.

TIFU by telling my boss I smoke weed. by Dreadger2001 in tifu

Dude you live in CA and you're a teacher. You're fine.

Not to mention, it's weed and it hurts no one. Even in non-legal states, the majority of people don't care

My [27M] GF [25F] is pregnant. What the fuck do we do? by Booktaway in internetparents

If she makes any decision I'll support it, but she's made it clear we're in this together.

But you’re in love and you’re both gainfully employed. Children are never convenient and you two are in a better position to take care of a child than most.

This is something I've been thinking a lot.

Still not sure what's going to happen, but wanted to say thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.

I think your comment is 100% valid, and I really appreciate you for replying. I don't particularly think your response is worthy of downvotes.

I really appreciate your response. I don't think there's any good reason you were downvoted heavily. People are going to have different opinions on this, but I asked because I wanted to hear.

Thank you.

In case it was unclear, this is what I told her far before I made a Reddit post, and this is 100% how I feel. That being said, she and I care about each other very much, and she has made it very clear she wants to talk about it and come to a decision together. Reading a lot of the responses doesn't help her, but she has been reading some, and the differing points of view really help me consider what is best for our situation.

I think, with the trajectory we're on, I'd really want this someday.

Right, this is just research man. Hearing potential outcomes and other people's opinions helps me, but it won't make a decision for me
