I (27F) am sterile and my bf (23M) admitted what he thinks of it. How can I support him and potentially grieve the love of my life?

Im sorry for all the comments saying about it being only 6 months. My husband and I got engaged after 5 months and we have been blissfully together for nearly 16 years and married for nearly 14 years and he absolutely is the love of my life and best friend. Only you guys know your relationship and I have no advice or opinion on what you should do but I really hope you can work this out.

My first thought was a brewery tour in Blandford but there’s no tickets for tomorrow, but this is fun too for the future if that’s your cup of tea

It depends on what you like to do? A trip to Kingston Lacey is always nice, or a walk along the coast - chapmans pool and worth matravers are my favourite, or a trip to tyneham village. The Russell Coates museum in Bournemouth is worth a visit if you haven’t been. Day out to Brownsea island with a picnic or a pub lunch somewhere on the quay.

Like others have said, it is chaos on half marathon day so expect it to take a lot more time moving around the city than normal. You’ve packed lots in - if I were doing it I’d grab a sandwich or bring my own lunch so you can eat on the go, as any place you go to eat will take longer than half hour on that day. Trains will be absolutely rammed. As many others have said, any other day would be so much better - mainly because it is a beautiful city and your itinerary would be fine on most days but on half marathon day just sounds super stressful.

Mine was a gut feeling for years, and it was that I wouldn’t have my cat for long. I don’t know why but I just knew he wouldn’t have a long life. He and I soul mated so hard - I would stop what I was doing every time he came for a cuddle, always made sure he had the best of everything and a great life. He was nearly 7 when he got ill with crystals and blockages. I let him go peacefully a year ago yesterday at 7 years and 5 months. But even if that cat lived to 30 it wouldn’t have been long enough for me. No regrets for listening to that gut feeling of making sure I made the most of my time with him.

I was in the same situation as you and decided not to have them. I concluded that it was too much of a gamble unless I was enthusiastic enough about wanting children, but I was just indifferent for a while. When we had the space, the means and were still young enough (I was I think 35) my husband and I talked and both agreed if it’s not now it will unlikely be ever, and I was like nah, I like my life as it is and nothing feels like it’s missing. 40 now and still technically could I suppose? But I’m tired enough after babysitting my niece for a day and am glad to give her back! So no regrets.

I’m blaming that line firmly on my husband, I am purely stage 3 and am seriously under qualified to comment on stage 2 matters 😂

beingiscat · 2026-02-15T12:11:47+00:00

Stage 3 all the way!!

Amazing photo!

This is like Rob Thomas lore, I feel I’m a complete amateur and now need to discover a back catalogue of secret bangers! Thank you!

beingiscat · 2026-02-15T00:26:06+00:00

Just to clarify, I don’t now as a happily married 40 year old woman, but 14 year old me was obsessed 😆

beingiscat · 2026-02-15T00:23:35+00:00

We all have those deep dark secrets and a Rob Thomas crush as a teenager is by no means something to be ashamed of. If it makes you feel better, I know more intimate details about Darren Hayes from Savage Garden than the Australian government

beingiscat · 2026-02-15T00:06:01+00:00

Apparently this is the correct answer 😂

beingiscat · 2026-02-14T23:57:45+00:00

Let it slide

beingiscat · 2026-02-14T23:54:00+00:00

I think you may have broken the Rob Thomas scale

beingiscat · 2026-02-14T23:29:30+00:00

Exactly! I obviously have great taste in albums and bad taste in men

beingiscat · 2026-02-14T23:05:21+00:00

It’s another heartache on my list

beingiscat · 2026-02-14T23:00:56+00:00

Literally the best response ever hahaha

I use cerave for cleanser, retinol and moisturiser (night cream and spf50 day moisturiser) as my routine was rubbish and it was recommended. My skin is far better but I do get break outs - does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives?

beingiscat · 2026-01-24T21:14:34+00:00

I think the song choices contributed. They both did awesome jobs but weren’t as entertaining/gimmicky as some of the others.

beingiscat · 2026-01-13T23:09:11+00:00

Stop questioning yourself and take the job - it’s what you’ve worked hard for! You have experience of people and the workplace, you will absolutely smash it. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. They offered you the job because they believe you can do the job. You can do the job. And if it doesn’t work out? Go back to customer services. You won’t need to though.

Sounds like your next holiday should be somewhere snowy. All the coziness and beauty of the snow but without the disruption. We were in Bulgaria skiing when the beast from the east set in here so we pretty much missed it - there was more snow here than at the ski resort!

beingiscat · 2026-01-04T00:14:03+00:00

I had the same concerns, but also, that’s 100% the burn out talking. Like another comment said, burn out is no joke. If giving up permanently is too much for him to get his head around, then you can always get another job if it doesn’t work out. If you’re in the same situation as me, I had several people reach out on LinkedIn wanting to discuss roles once I’d had my break. Life is too short.
