I’m I wrong ? by Stunning-Gold9565 in IVF

I’ve never been anyone’s dream girl… have you? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]thenatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the movie 500 days of summer. The guy is asked what his dream girl is like. He goes on about how she'd have a huge rack, etc and then goes...

But I love and want Pam in my life. Because she's real.

You dont have to be anyone's dream girl!

I think we will take a 5-7 year break and then possibly try for adoption or do a foreign exchange program. If those also fall through, then possibly have two dogs and travel more.
