That is sweet. I feel like I really shouldn’t have offered a personal anecdote after asking a general question. I feel like it confused the discussion. I emphatically was not asking if I should make a run on a sperm bank or have a short term relationship solely to get pregnant.

While I have been very open here about my desire to have a partner and children. I’ve never personally desired to have children without a partner. I always saw myself creating a nuclear family.

I’ve known women who had different viewpoints. Knew that if they hadn’t met “the one” by a certain age they were taking matters into their own hands. I will say anecdotally those women seem happier than the women I know who did the equivalent of grabbing a guy before the lights come on at the bar.

I personally don’t believe that the decisions I make for myself should be foisted upon others. I definitely don’t believe any religious beliefs I may have should factor into someone else childbearing decisions.
