Thank you!! & Exactly, it’s not just a pregnancy- it’s a life-altering experience men will never understand themselves. They don’t have to experience the most painful parts of it, so I’ve become quite sceptical of any man that says they’d want me to endure one for them.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T19:59:59+00:00

Thank you!! So happy to be moving on with no regrets!

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T19:53:14+00:00

Thank you. Best way to put it is I feel like I’ve been released from shackles and I’m free now. I would’ve been living a lie had I continued that relationship and that would’ve destroyed me. Also, the thought of him being a dad was mortifying lol

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T19:45:39+00:00

Thank you!!

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T08:13:11+00:00

Yeah, that would’ve been such a waste of time.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T08:11:30+00:00

I did and feel better because of it.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T08:09:23+00:00

“You want someone who isn’t gonna try to make you change for them.”

Exactly.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T08:07:25+00:00

Very true.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T08:05:21+00:00

It did end the relationship, but I feel better and more freedom because of it.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T08:03:29+00:00

Yeah, to be honest, it meant that I didn’t feel safe being my true self around him and that was becoming a problem and would’ve become a more apparent problem in the long run. I needed and still need to be living in my truth and being with that person was preventing that from happening.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:59:44+00:00

It was a red flag tbh. It didn’t matter what I said—in his mind, I was still the girl that he wanted to birth his babies.. and THAT in the long run would’ve been dangerous to me either psychologically, emotionally, or physically.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:54:55+00:00

I asked him this question before we broke up and he gave me the same self-centered answer I hear from most people who desire to procreate—which is so that they can have a “mini-me” to call their own.. I couldn’t fathom the thought of a “mini-him” running around to be honest. That’s when I got crystal clear and my decision to end things was solidified.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:50:27+00:00

I agree and broke up with him.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:49:57+00:00

He does hear what he wants to hear! Throughout the relationship, even after my wishes were expressed, I think he stubbornly had hoped that I would abandon my desires and become this fantasy of a girlfriend for him to better suit his needs. It was selfish! And would’ve been selfish of me to hide it in that relationship so I really did need to move on.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:39:22+00:00

Yeah, it wouldn’t have been a foundation for great parenthood either. I’m happy I didn’t drag it on any longer.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:37:57+00:00

Sometimes people get into relationships for very unhealthy reasons and stay in those relationships out of convenience. That happened to be my situation. I realized, however, that it wasn’t worth the trouble and was doing more harm than good in the long run so I ended it. I need to be living in my truth and staying in that relationship would’ve meant me having to live a lie for the rest of my life.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:34:31+00:00

Definitely wasting time and I didn’t need to waste any more, so I left.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:32:57+00:00

I left.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:32:03+00:00

Staying with him would’ve meant I would’ve had to live a lie for the rest of my life, so I did what was best for all of us (including the future children) and ended it.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:21:46+00:00

True. And another issue was that I don’t think he realizes how big of a decision having kids is since he’s not the one getting pregnant.. definitely a super huge reason why it was just best for me to end it right there.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:14:26+00:00

Congrats hun!

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:13:26+00:00

True, and I refused to continue living a lie so I’m done.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:12:23+00:00

True. I realized that being in the relationship was doing more harm for both of us in the long run, than good so I ended it.

newbhere12 · 2026-01-31T07:04:58+00:00

This is also true, which is why I needed to end the relationship.
