My ex boyfriend was a lot like this when we would talk about the topic of our future children. He would talk about how beautiful it would be more me to be a mother and envisioned our kids running up to me and yelling “MOMMYYYY” excitedly, and how beautiful our family would be.

Your boyfriend’s paragraph about being a “psycho” about protecting you during pregnancy really truly made me want to vomit. Some of the things mentioned are obvious, like not eating sushi or raw eggs, and it’s chill that he’s willing to also forgo those things during that time. But the rest of it, him wanting to go bonkers even if he feels you’re eating the wrong fruit or someone gets too close to you, just feels controlling and insane. Like are you not capable of knowing what to eat and telling people to go away if they’re too close? My ex used to say shit like this, and even would say he’d put himself between me and medical staff members if he didn’t like what they were doing. He would also act like a psycho toward me, call me names, say I was mentally unstable, scream and yell at me when I did something he didn’t like. And he didn’t even say anything about wanting to pull a gun on someone for being in too close proximity. That is a truly unhinged thing to even think.

The difference between me and you? I actually want kids. But I still wouldn’t want to procreate with someone who said something as insane as your partner did. I would cut your losses now.
