Ok so, throwing this out there and hoping I dont get too attacked! Im nearly 37 and have a 6 yr old from a previous relationship. I met my current partner 3 yrs ago.. not yet living together but have discussed it. To be honest as much as I want it to "feel right" .. im not sure he is right.. nothing major but living with him would be hard work..hes slightly obsessed with cleanliness, overly house proud and his hobby is saving money and investing! I am house proud and clean etc but not to the extent he is! It sounds mean but I feel a bit bored with him not sure i could live happily ever after with him?! I would never string him along and he knows how i feel.. ive been honest. Im just not sure hes "the one for me" but hes perfect on paper..financially stable and hes desperate for kids! Hes 41 and im nearly 37. Anyway advice please .. what do i do? End it and try and meet "the one" before my biological clock ends (this would be my ideal situation but a risk given my age) or have a baby with him, knowing he wants a baby and would be a fab dad but we may not be together forever? I know the 3rd option is sperm donor but i think id be better off having a baby with him so the baby has a father figure and i have support (not looking to get into debate on right/wrongs of sperm donor and i have nothing against women who choose this route i just think it would be my last resort altho definitely an option i'd consider).
I know in my heart if i dont have another baby I will be heartbroken.. i wish i could pause time and meet mr right but times flying by.. yes we all know someone who had a baby at 41 but i may not be so lucky? Im petrified of being single at 37 and longing for a baby (yes this is selfish but its my reality and honest feelings). I love being a mum and im desperate for another child. Anyone been in this situation? As i say..please be kind as im really stressing about this.
