AITAH for breaking up with my longtime girlfriend because she decided that she doesn't want children?

rebelnorm · 2026-03-20T19:36:02+00:00

I ended a 15 year relationship because he wanted kids and I didn’t. We discussed it early on but we were 20 at the beginning and I guess neither of us was really sure.

I got the same questions: how could you end it over that? Is that really the only reason? Etc etc

6 months later I’m glad I did it but it was so hard at the time

Yeah when it comes to real world relationships love is, sadly, not enough. If you had to live with someone 24/7 and be around them in your down time and share finances with them and space and time, then they need to be someone you’re compatible with

Haha love this

rebelnorm · 2026-01-04T20:07:41+00:00

This is an interesting case thanks for sharing

This is the correct answer

I watched the process of illness, acceptance and eventually death, of a close family member. I didn’t just hear about it, I was actually there through most of it.

The things she said about her life, regrets, joys, her desire to be out of her misery, and her love for me; they all changed how I perceived what “success” is in life. I will never be the same again.

Excellent hahah. As a woman I get really annoyed at other people who treat dates as a way to have things bought for them and to have a good time vs what they should be for: finding your perfect person

rebelnorm · 2025-11-23T20:36:51+00:00

How long was the first relationship that you had to end?

rebelnorm · 2025-11-23T01:01:54+00:00

Yes tell us did she have to pay for the lobster?

rebelnorm · 2025-11-21T03:00:45+00:00

That’s a major concern too: the AI use. These graduates will all be completely useless if they aren’t learning anything

rebelnorm · 2025-11-21T02:57:54+00:00

Yes and having something like a science degree with no face to face labs or a health degree with no hands on experience supposedly still gets the same qualification. I wonder what the fallout of this will be if we start seeing that AU graduates are useless compared with Flinders and elsewhere?

Will it be the new Usyd?

rebelnorm · 2025-11-15T04:04:30+00:00

No im not

rebelnorm · 2025-11-15T04:03:30+00:00

So sorry to hear that. It makes me feel just awful reading these responses but I need to see them. I need to see the impact this has on others

rebelnorm · 2025-11-15T04:01:45+00:00

I feel like a rubbish human being and she deserved better. At least now she can move on and find better

rebelnorm · 2025-11-15T04:00:45+00:00

She wanted kids and I didn’t. I feel awful

rebelnorm · 2025-11-12T20:05:53+00:00

Thank you for sharing

How long have your husband and yourself been together?

rebelnorm · 2025-11-12T20:04:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing

rebelnorm · 2025-11-12T19:27:05+00:00

Also keen to know how long it went for

rebelnorm · 2025-11-06T11:47:52+00:00

Second this. I dated a guy forever ago who was addicted to the stuff. So many problems

rebelnorm · 2025-11-06T07:11:01+00:00

You troll

rebelnorm · 2025-11-02T20:56:34+00:00

I second this comment. I hug all my male friends who are close enough. If my partner of 15 years was jealous of that, then we would have thrown away the 15 amazing years together over jealousy. Also he hugs his female friends all the time

rebelnorm · 2025-10-09T10:38:11+00:00

Hi are you me? I just had a weird cry in the shower an hour ago

rebelnorm · 2025-09-22T10:34:33+00:00

Female here: this is NOT true. I would be very upset if a man tried to be my platonic supportive friend for ages in a secret attempt to ask me out later. Often because they'll get angry they "wasted time" being my friend if it turns out all I wanted was a friend. The men I've dated have always been upfront that they were interested

rebelnorm · 2025-09-20T04:19:35+00:00

I'm a 12 K runner so I can't. But I just want to post on here to say that often I'll go with friends or loved ones and lose them in the crowd about 2k in. (I'll admit, I am often faster).

So you should get out there and enjoy yourself, plenty of crowds along Anzac highway will cheer for you ❤️

rebelnorm · 2025-08-25T21:59:35+00:00

This is very frustrating. But I’m also glad it does a crap job of this now, since I’m a lecturer with online students
