Did anyone else rush a baby with the wrong man because of the clock ticking

I did. I feel awful about it. I was 34 and everyone had settled down, I was desperate for a family and DP said he was keen for the same thing. We became lax with contraception. It didn’t work out in the long run as the relationship wasn’t fully right and I guess I thought we would just stay together and be happy.

I hate myself for it for the baby’s sake mostly as ex doesn’t seem them at all.

It was selfish and shit of me to jump into it all knowing I had doubts about the relationship. I’m considering therapy as I go over it so much :( lol

@James491 you don’t believe in romance, just sex?! I think sex and emotions go hand in hand together, I don’t think they are exclusive for women. Well, certainly not for me anyway. If I’m sleeping with someone - it’s because I’m emotionally tied to them.

I think you’re right though. Raising my kids is much more important than any other relationship I will possibly ever have.

It’s just hard to swallow that their father put his sexual needs before them and lied about it all. Disappointing.
