As my birthday is nearing, I'm thinking about the things I always thought I'd do by this age (I'd rather not reveal my age right now, lol). I surely thought I'd have a house, a job that I love, a wife and kids. You know, the things our parents forced down our gullets since we were young, those visions of theirs. Well, those visions haven't served me well and I'm coping with them as best as I can. In a way, I feel good about not succumbing to their expectations and living a life true to myself.
I have been with my girlfriend for four years and we love each other very much. Neither of us sees the need for marriage and we are very open to each other rearding our relationship, our feelings, and our expectations for ourselves and each other. I'd never want her to force her feelings for me and to "stick around" if our relationship wasn't serving her well.
However, the other day, she aired out her concerns with me. As in, she feels like time is lapsing for her, biologically, to have a child. Sure, we had talked about having kids a few months ago but I didn't realize the urgency was this real for her. And after talking to my close friend, who has always advised me well, he helped me realize that perhaps I do want at least one kid.
While the thought of all of this is overwhelming, having a child doesn't mean that I can't do the things I want. It'll just mean that we become more aware of the things we need and plan them. I do think I could be a fantastic father :D
I know she's looking into pregnancy miracle guide reviews
and I think I'm going to look into this system too. I want us both to be as prepared as possible. I also think my girlfriend will make an amazing mom.
What else can a guy ask for? A committed girlfriend, a nice apartment, health, and two awesome dogs. The one thing I do want to do is own my own car and live by the beach. I believe I'll be doing that next year ;)
