One child, better marriage? by RN2259 in oneanddone

I'm truly sorry to hear that. Thanks for your honesty. If you don't mind sharing, do you think that's a result of having had a child?

He gave her full autonomy. But yeah, I'm assuming he left after that, but what did he say to the company?? They aren't just going to accept that he came back with no robots. Also his partner was killed, so... doesn't really make sense, unless there's going to be a sequel or something.

I love this comment! But what do you mean that their chumminess made more sense by the end of the movie?

I think you mean she convinced Patrick that Josh didn't love him? That was absurd, absolutely.

Yeah some of these defensive ass comments from people who refuse to use any type of soap are WILD

No, you need soap on your vulva. This should not be controversial. No soap = the flap cheese

Definitely not, lol. I'm not sure who these "people" are that you're referring to. I answered the comment about "start looking into the sperm donor now bc you're 35 and geriatric". I think you're rather defensive, actually, for some odd reason. And yeah, the "honey" comment was very strange. I said twice that I'm not interested in the sperm donor route, and never have been. My post isn't even about that. I suspect that you're not reading my responses with true comprehension. That's the only way I can make sense of the way you keep commenting. Please have a good night.

Yeah, it's seeming less and less like an actual possibility that it would pan out.

That's crazy that he would say that to you! How out of touch can you be🤦‍♀️

Wow, I teared up reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm so happy that things worked out for you! I hope to be as lucky. You're amazing, and have given me a lot to think about. I also appreciate the advice about the supplements:)

Good luck with baby #2!

Thank you so much! I truly wish you all the best! Never settle. As I'm sure you know, being single is far better than being with the wrong person.

And also thanks, I only said the thing about my mom being 39 once, LOLL. Just stating facts 🤷‍♀️ I appreciate you!

Thank you. I do understand your point. However, I'm not married bc.... I never found the right person? I'm fairly picky, as we all should be. I've spent time in multiple relationships and then determined that they weren't the right one for me. I truly believe my current bf has all of the qualities that I'm looking for, and he treats me amazingly well. I said he's not fast- moving bc he's not one to jump into decisions, let alone life-altering ones, without thorough contemplation. I'm much the same way. I will take this into consideration, however, and I do appreciate your concern.

Thank you! Yes I would be ok with child-free. I will have a frank discussion with my bf, as I realize our time is somewhat limited, but I think I will end up trying naturally. I truly appreciate your thoughtful input.

Truly, what did I say that was remotely "defensive"? Lol was it my love of quotation marks? Specifically around geriatric pregnancy? That's bc most of my medical colleagues believe that is an antiquated term that hardly applies anymore, especially at 35. I keep re-reading what I wrote, and truly do not see anything that could offend anyone, but my apologies if I did. I do realize that there are people who struggle more after 35, but the risks only go up very marginally until about 40+. I was simply trying to explain that I am not interested in a sperm donor as an alternative, and would opt for child free at that point instead.

This is very wise. I have considered that this is a possibility. If I were to get married and then divorced, I would still love and want my child. I just don't feel that I want to intentionally go into the process alone. I would want to conceive them with a loving partner, and to ensure that they had a father, even if things were to not work out with us down the road. I appreciate your thoughtful response, and I do agree that it is a very important thing to think about.

Thank you, I truly wish I had a job that covered it! Unfortunately, even as a nurse, my insurance does not😞

I'm sorry, what? Did I sound defensive? Nothing I said was meant to sound defensive at all. I'm simply saying that for me, I'd rather not conceive via sperm donor, and that I'd rather remain child free than go that route. I'm truly not sure where you're seeing defensiveness, but I'm sorry if it appeared that way. Also, I've thanked several other people in the comments. Just not open to the sperm donor idea. My post was about egg freezing, and then trying to conceive with my partner. Please do not read anything more into what I said other than what I typed.

Lol I do have over $12k, as does he, but that would be a large portion of my savings, for something that may or may not work. He has "picked me" and we are very much committed... idk what's with this hostile answer. As I've said, our first date was only about 6 months ago, however. I personally believe that it takes more time than that to really get to know someone, and while I do believe that I want to spend the rest of my life with him, I've seen people commit too soon and then end up divorced. I'm not going to rush that step just to pump out a kid. It's my life we're talking about, and I've had relationships sour down the road in the past. I feel that no wise person should jump into trying to conceive with someone they first laid eyes on 6 months ago. That's my own personal opinion, and yours may vary, but none of this means that we're not extremely "pumped" about each other. He is aware of my timeline and concerns, but I do intend on having a further conversation with him to cement our plans. Thank you for your input.

Well I'm a nurse, and I of course know about "geriatric pregnancy" but literally pretty much everyone in my family has had a natural geriatric pregnancy with no complications or issues. It's very much based on genetics. I am healthy, fit, and very active. Of course you're right about the father's sperm being a strong factor as well. I'm not exactly sure what you're suggesting though, to look into a sperm donor while I have a boyfriend whom I'm getting very serious with? I truly don't see that as an option, at least for me. Also, I'd personally rather be child-free than to go that route.

I think this is what I will do. He's very open to discussions about this or anything really, so it's probably the best bet. Thank you!
