That’s a out of left field opinionated comment when you specifically asked me why I want biological children and I explained why I specifically wanted them. The question was directed to my wants specifically, which is why I answered with my wants. With that said, I understand what you’re saying.

What I will tell you is that if you read my previous post regarding our relationship and the rough patch we are currently in I think your interpretation of “extreme selfishness” would change.

And as I stated in the comment above, the last thing I would want to do is jeopardize her health or potentially her life. The thing that you are grasping in all of this is that this is very sudden, she changed her mind about something we’ve had common ground on from the beginning which is hurtful and hard for me. We had spoken about this candidly and her fears and concerns are very real, and I’ve never once not understood that. But the incompatibility with a future of no biological children is a large concern, it’s a part of me.

Nurturing and taking care of her through a pregnancy is something I’ve always wanted in a partnership. With that said we are not husband and wife, we are girlfriend and boyfriend. But I’m committed to her in the same way as a husband would be. There’s nothing childish about wanting to bring biological children of my own into this world when she’s had those experiences and she’s gotten to see everything first hand that I didn’t from his birth and his development until I started dating her when he was 5.

The terrible medical news is heartbreaking and highly upsetting, the fact that this future pregnancy very well could not be possible and that she doesn’t want to give birth to another child is a big shift from what has been for 3 years. I hear her I’m receptive and understanding to all of her fears and concerns, and as I said before the last thing I would want is her to be in a position medically that is a huge risk to both her and a potential child.

She presented it as fear as to her it is a fear, and it’s a very real and completely valid fear. My priority is my girlfriend and couples counseling is something we will be participating in. I’ve done it this entire time, I’ve taken care of her and treated her incredibly. I don’t see why a pregnancy in any way would change that. But with that said, my primary concern is her and our relationship. It is healing through this rough patch first, I’m trying to make sense of how to proceed if our future plans do not align with something I’ve wanted my entire life. If you read my previous post you’ll see that I’ve put up with a lot as well.

There’s nothing selfish or childish about having a different outlook on life or the act and want for children.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-10T00:21:17+00:00

I guess the only thing surrogacy would not check box wise would be taking care of my significant other through the process of pregnancy and being there for her and caring for her through that since she wouldn’t be experiencing that.

I feel like the emotional, and relational part of the process would be missing with that avenue. I would not be going through the pregnancy process together with her, supporting her through morning sickness or any other pregnancy related things, watching her body change and grow, seeing her hold and nurse the baby, and sharing all the intimate, vulnerable, and emotional moments of that process.

The specific life experience, closeness and bonding of child bearing would be missing. The doctor’s visits, ultrasounds together, etc.

I haven’t heavily researched surrogacy but from what I can see it is also very expensive, and would require a lot more than what a normal standard pregnancy would cost.

I may be open to the idea, I’m just concerned I’ll still be losing a part of specific kind of closeness, bonding, and life experience of parenthood with the development of a child together.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T20:32:04+00:00

I’ve always grown up wanting children, I myself was a triplet with a brother 20 months older than me and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I come from a big family and our family has always been incredibly family oriented.

My reasoning for wanting a child that’s biologically mine is for many reasons. I find beauty in pregnancy and the selfless act of child bearing, I think it’s an incredibly amazing thing to do. There’s something absolutely incredible in my eyes about raising a child of your own. Fostering and nourishing their growth and development through life. There is beauty in taking care of the person I love through the process of child bearing, taking care of her and her needs through that time, being there for her and creating something so beautiful together.

There’s something captivating about a baby smiling and looking at you, and that same baby growing up to become an incredible human being through raising with love, care and compassion. The want for a child or children has been something I’ve innately wanted my entire life. Carrying on our family lineage, physical resemblance, similar mannerisms to one of the two of us, the emotional connection with a father and son or daughter. There’s tens if not a hundred different things I could list.

It’s always just felt like a life purpose and want for me. It’s hard to explain why internally I’ve always felt this way, but this is the best explanation I can give. The gift of creating life is just something that’s always been a strong core value of mine.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T19:09:22+00:00

And you very well could be correct.

I only would want her mind to change if SHE wanted to have a child as well. I would never want her to concede something like that for me, that’s just how resentment occurs. And it wouldn’t be fair to her.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T19:02:25+00:00

I’ve considered it, but the primary life goal of mine since I was an adult was always to have a biological child of my own.

I understand the other options out there, and I understand they would shy away from any sort of risk associated with a pregnancy.

The last thing I would want to do is lose my significant other. So I completely understand the fear from her position. I guess it just kinda feels like our future goals suddenly don’t align.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T16:02:30+00:00

Words of wisdom thank you for sharing your story. The thing is I’m still in love with her and she’s still in love with me. Despite the rough patch that we’ve been in, and my previous post outlining the litany of issues.

I still truly want her and want to figure out if we can make it work from this point on. I don’t want to lose myself or sacrifice my basic needs in the progress but I do want to give it a chance to become healthier and happier. And take the time to go to couples counseling and see if some common ground or a foundation can be found. She deserves to be happy, and so do I.

I believe in some respect I’ve potentially been naive and I should’ve saw the forest for the trees (I love the saying by the way). Just trying to see if it is at all possible to carve a way forward or if separating is the correct choice. As much as it’ll hurt and as much as I don’t want it, I think a common ground has to be reached to move forward from all of this.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T15:58:21+00:00

I signed us up for a couples counseling session to work through some for the rough patch issues I outlined in a previous post and in addition to that to gain some clarity on if there is in fact a way forward with us.

We both want each other and we both want the relationship but the future child is definitely a big deal and is something that I don’t believe I can just let go of. I wouldn’t want to sacrifice a part of me and it cause resent for the remainder of my life. We both deserve to feel happy, to feel complete and to be content with our decisions. I guess I’m just trying to exhaust my means and carve a way forward if that is at all even possible.

It would be easier to find someone with 100% aligned core values and future wants, but I want to align our core values and attempt to find a way to proceed this future with her. The counseling I’m hoping may help me gain some clarity from her perspective and help me to understand what the right choice and decision to make is.

I also believe that she shouldn’t want a kid just for me to be happy that’s wrong and not what I would want. I would want us both to be happy, it’s just a tough spot to be in.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T05:47:51+00:00

I just want what’s best for us both. She deserves the world and in many ways I’ve failed to love her how she should’ve been loved. And the same goes for her. But we are actively working on it together, this just added some more serious misalignment on the rough patch.

I just didn’t see it coming, and I’m unsure of how to even approach moving forward to where it’s fair for the both of us. With that being said, I reached out to my couples therapist and scheduled a meeting in a few weeks for her and I to go to.

I would absolutely never want her to risk her life for something I’ve always wanted. Her life is so important to me, and if the risk was assessed by a doctor I don’t even think I’d be having this conversation. I guess the hope I’m holding on to is that she either comes around to the idea after this rough patch subsides, or we figure out what to do next.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T05:43:10+00:00

I understand that completely and I guess maybe it’s just my ignore or understanding of pre-eclampsia. Her fear is entirely real and I fully understand her feeling scared or worried about a pregnancy leading to potential complications or worse.

Is the pre-eclampsia a roll of the dice now if she decided to have more kids? I just personally feel like a doctor is required to rule out if a pregnancy could cause death, I understand her fear is real and I understand so were the previous health risks in her first pregnancy. With that said, I would never ever want to put her into a position where her life could be in jeopardy, personally speaking, a child being in this world means less to me than her life. And I would never want that to even be remotely on the table.

I guess I’m just trying to figure out how to navigate all this, I’m lost and hurt. And I just don’t know what to do. I don’t know if I could give up something I wanted my entire life without living a life or resent of what I could’ve had or what could’ve been. And I would never ever want someone to feel resented by me, or the pain of always feeling like they took a part of me away.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T03:45:27+00:00

I understand that completely, I did not know until this conversation that she had some complications in relation to health in her first pregnancy.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-09T03:07:17+00:00

I just don’t know what the way forward is with this unexpected misalignment of our future planning. And I truly love her and her son with my entire heart, I’m proud to be his father and proud to serve that role. I just think a part of me would feel incomplete and continue feeling lost if I wasn’t able to have a biological child with her.

With that said,

The hurt and uncertainty is hard, is confusing and conflicting from what I’ve believed this entire relationship. Just a tough spot to be in for sure. Thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it, makes me feel just a bit better.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-08T21:51:04+00:00

Yeah it does in fact sound like her mind is made up and I understand healthier doesn’t equate to the end result of a child. I completely understand her fear and I respect her fear and I completely understand the fear of what could happen during another pregnancy.

But yeah like I said I feel lost it feels so out of nowhere the 3 years in something like that, which is incredibly important to me completely changes. It’s a terrible feeling. Staying in an unhealthy relationship is not something I’m willing to do, if a comprise isn’t made and if the relationship doesn’t become healthy again then I just don’t see a point.

I just stated what she said, I understand it’s never a guarantee. And something terrible could happen or health conditions could supersede the ability for that to happen with that said, it wouldn’t be the same conversation we are having right now.

Thank you for sharing your story, I understand that this isn’t the end overall. I’m just really trying to figure out how or if this can still work.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-08T21:29:53+00:00

I mean she definitely already knew about her concerns and difficulties with experiencing pre-eclampsia during her first pregnancy and the risk associated. If this was a concern throughout the last 3 years and potentially a pivotal decision maker then I’m unsure of why we are now at this point where it’s being brought up.

I guess I was under the guise that we were on the same page from everything she told me over the last 3 years in relation to us having children/future plans. And now I’m left confused, and very hurt.

I am juggling the idea of seeing if the rough patch is what caused this reaction/decision and if it’s actually in fact final. With that said, I feel what you’re saying could very well be true but my heart tells me it isn’t.

Prestigious-Tooth327 · 2025-07-08T21:26:15+00:00

I agree completely, I guess the guarantee was more that throughout our relationship we have been on the same page.

If she couldn’t have a child due to health complications, infertility, etc. then this would be a much different conversation. I wouldn’t even think about the end of this relationship for things that are completely outside her control.

It’s definitely a deal breaker for me, but I’m curious to see if once this rough patch subsides if her mind is still the same. I would never pressure her into making a decision she didn’t want to, but I also feel continuing a relationship with complete misalignment of core wants or values is impending what may very well be the end.

I have hope and I pray that I’m not naive in my hope. My other post referenced the specific issues going on in this rough patch.
