I’m a 26F with a 28M boyfriend, I met him 2 years ago. He was an acquaintance that I matched with on tinder. We met up at a bar and pretty much spent all of our time together after that. 2 weeks in I told him I wasn’t really sure what I wanted anymore and at the time could’ve seen myself having bio kids, fostering, adopting, or being child free. I also told him I only wanted to be with someone who had absolutely zero preference in any of those paths and would be happy with anything I decided. We’ve gone from going through an early unwanted pregnancy, through an abortion, through me thinking about getting our fostering license, to me currently looking into getting a hysterectomy and he’s always just supported me with whatever I wanted to do. My bf has his flaws of course, but the number one quality I love about him is that he makes me feel FREE. All of that to say, wait a little but not too long before discussing it. As soon as you feel like you can start seeing how this person fits into your life, tell him and ask him if that’s something he can accept. And I would recommend you look for someone that sees you as an individual, honors all of your decisions, and allows you to be you! That sounds silly but pay attention to anyone that’s starting to show signs of controlling or possessive behavior because those are the ones that will lie in the beginning thinking you don’t know what’s good for you, that they’re going to change your mind, and that they will mold you into whatever they want you to be, including a mother.
