Me and my boyfriend broke up.

He didn’t want children. I did.

Sorry to hear that and glad you realized the huge disparity and broke up

Lame. I can understand wanting to wait or being ambivalent about it. But a guy with low time preference is gonna eventually come around to wanting a child, usually. At least be open to it.

The right outcome, even if it really fucking sucks

good choice, you also very lucky I'm single

Sorry sister. Some things can't be overcome. Kids are a must. We'll pray for your peace.

He thought he could be involved with a Persian and not make grand babies??

I am sure it doesn't feel good but sounds like you might have dodged a bullet

Yeah, that’s a dealbreaker. What a loss…for him!

Better to figure that stuff out early. Painful as it can be.

A man who doesn't wasn't children is a little boy dodging responsibility.

Breakups are never easy, but staying true to your dreams and values is so important ❤️ Wishing you strength and happiness on your journey forward.

Damn good reason to split up

You're gonna win Roya.

Adore you ben

His loss, you'll get over it eventually

Philosophical differences are still hard to swallow, even if no one is at “fault”. You are young and beautiful; Providence will smile upon you, bestowing the partner you can build a life with ♡

Sorry to hear, Roya 🫂

Sorry to hear 😔 at the same time it sounds like you made the right choice.

Time to look for a bitcoiner ✌️

roya, sorry to hear that 💜🫂 .... but it's better to resolve these issues early than later!

since we had our daughter, we've known the last weeks what happiness feels like

Be strong ❤️

The tone of the sympathizers is as if the boyfriend did something wrong. He has a say and he said it. So much for the bitcoiners and nostriches breaking the shackles.

He didn’t do anything wrong! You’re right, that’s his choice and it’s okay!

Phew

Most younger men don't want kids, older established men often do. This is why that stereotype exists. You got this.

He’s 30

Yikes, inflation is making young guys older now!

when I was 25 my manager at work told me I should dump my boyfriend (who I was living with at the time) and date someone who was 10 years oIder. I thought she was so rude for saying that, but it was true. He wasn’t even close to wanting to get married and I was so angry at him for making me wait that by the time he proposed, I refused to marry him.

I see and feel you girl! 🫂💜

Ouf that sucks… better now than down the road.

🫂

Ugh! Been there. Men will have children, AND get married, when THEY want to. It creates a lot of misunderstanding, resentment and frustration on our end though. Look at it this way - now you can do exactly what you want and not have to make a joint decision about it.

1) He may grow up eventually

2) You got this. Things often happen for a reason..

That’s hard, but choosing your future is strong.

So sorry to hear this Roya 🫂🐕

Dang, sorry that’s rough. We just had our first child 2 months ago, it’s worth it 1000%

Better than being a single mom in the end? Isn’t it?

This is why my girlfriend and I broke up too. I want like 4 or 5 kids 😅

It gets easier over time, I think you made the right choice 👍

I’m glad you figured this out now, it will save a lot of heartache down the road. There is a man out there that will want to have many kids with you :) you will be so happy when you meet him!

I think you’ll be a great mom…
