Would I be in the wrong to walk away so my boyfriend can have kids?

I have been with my boyfriend 2 years and found out 3 weeks ago I will not be able to have anymore children. I have two kids from my previous relationship and my bf loves them like his own. I feel guilty I can’t have more children, and he has always wanted children of his own. Is it wrong for me to want to walk away to give him that chance? I have a fear of hun resenting me in the future, there’s so much that can change.

Get a second opinion, on the not able to have kids you never know

This is something that you need to discuss with him. Ask him how he feels about you not being able to give him kids of his own. You do know though that blood doesn’t mean anything to most.

I’d talk to him. Things can happen in the future regardless of whether or not you could have bio kids together. He can’t resent you for something not in your control. There’s also surrogacy or other ways to have a baby in the future if it is that important to him. Just have open communication.

Talk to him about this, what about a surrogate

Talk to him about it!! Why does that always seem so hard to people? If you can’t talk to your partner there is something wrong

There’s also so many other ways you can have them too. Don’t walk from a perfectly good bloke without talking. A lot. See what he thinks and wants. Fostering, adoption , surrogacy

He’s a grown ass man. It’s his decision. Don’t make it for him. He may love you and those kiddos more than anything. Dreams change. Wants change. Sometimes we choose to let go of and mourn previous dreams because we love what’s in front of us more. It doesn’t make it any less worthwhile.

Yes after you are married

That’s something you need to sit down and talk to him about.

I get it. Even if you talk to him I could imagine him saying he doesn’t want to leave you and you feeling guilty anyways. I do think you should talk to him and also start therapy for yourself. Finding out you can’t have more kids when you expected to can cause mourning in yourself. Therapy can help you get through these feelings.

This is his choice, not yours. I was told after my oldest was born in 2004 that I could not have anymore kids either. Imagine my surprise when 16 years later, I find out I’m pregnant with twins!! Get a second opinion before you count yourself out mama!

Unless you’ve had a complete hysterectomy, you can still have children. Miracles happen everyday. A doctor doesn’t have the final say. In the meantime, I wouldn’t be so quick to leave a man who understands your fertility struggles & respects them.

What’s the reasoning you can’t have anymore?

I know this feeling - I have PCOS and feared I’d never have another child and then shockingly got pregnant after 8 years. Get a second opinion but most importantly, communicate with your partner!

Why can’t you have more?

Communication is key. This is a conversation that you two should have together. Don’t walk away without giving him the chance to know how you’re feeling. Chances are, he will love you regardless and you two can overcome this. It will save you, him and your children a lot of heartache if you two just talk it out. Good luck momma :yellow_heart:

I was told I would never have kids traditionally… I have a 12, 8 and 3… the youngest was conceived while I was on birth control.

Definitely decide with him. I had 1 from a previous relationship and in my current relationship we tried for 3 years with fertility meds before they said it might not be possible. I tried to leave him for the same reason and he was heart broken because he loves me and my daughter but I didn’t want him to leave me down the road for that reason. Stopped meds and he moved out…still sleeping together and than got pregnant with our now 6 year old daughter lol.

It’s wrong of you to do so without having a conversation with him about it. Tell him what you’ve found out and take it from there.

Imagine how he’d feel not having kids of his own, but loving your kids as his own. Then you walk away and he has absolutely no kids anymore. I’d have a conversation with him because it may be something he’s willing to compromise on. You may even be able to look into alternative options such as donor eggs or surrogate, depending on your situation. Relationships are about compromise. See where he stands.

Multiple doctors told me I would never have kids. I have two now. :heart: definitely talk to him first. If he wants out he can get out. Y’all could also try to save money and go the surrogacy route or ivf.

Have you considered surrogacy ?

You need to have a conversation with him about it. An you need to realize there’s other ways to have children including bio children. You never know he could be open to surrogacy and maybe even adoption. Don’t assume you know exactly how someone will react until you’re truly honest with them they may surprise you. Besides I wouldn’t throw away a good relationship just on an assumption you have that he wouldn’t be ok with it or open to other forms of having kids.

does he want you to walk? talk to him

I would talk to him. He may have accepted that he won’t have any of his own.

This is a conversation that you need to have with him.

Not to mention, there are other options, aside from conceiving the old fashioned way. You could use IVF, a surrogate or even adoption. Unless you’ve had your female reproductive system removed, there’s always a possibility. I was told after I had my twins that I wouldn’t be able to have anymore. Now I have 4 kids.

Talk with him. There’s IVF, ferlity treatments, etc. Don’t give up on it. Doctors are not 100% accurate. I was told I’ll never be able have kids without help, well ended up with 2 healthy boys with out help from Dr’s.

It would be wrong to do so with out a conversation with him. Let him know what the doctor says and why you can’t have more. (Not anyone else’s business why you can’t)
Tell him your fears of his resentment and let him decide. Let him know you are open to giving him time to figure it out if he needs to.
But to leave him with out giving him the option and knowledge would be wrong.

You need to talk to him first. Make sure this is not just how YOU feel about it. While he may want children of his own given the circumstances he may be ok with just accepting yours as his own. It’s not wrong of you to want to walk away so he can have that but please don’t make decisions for him. He may love you more then anything and this is just a thing.

It sounds like this just happened and you need time to let things settle in. Please talk to him before you do anything. In the end do what’s best for you.

Doctors can be wrong,

Aww I hate you are questioning your worth .You have to talk to him. He might have had a change of heart if he truly does love yours as his own. You can’t just walk out thinking you’re doing something great for him. That is pretty drastic. Talk to him

You’re walking away from the kids?

Communication!! Have you talked to him about it? How does he feel? If you both are in intent on having a kid “together”, look into fertility treatments if it’s an option, or better yet, look into adoption together! :black_heart:
He also might be completely happy with the two that came with you. :blush:
Ultimately just talk to him, let him know that you don’t want there to be resentment, & you’ll do anything to make him happy (which is obvious by this post :black_heart:), even if that means you aren’t in the picture.

Don’t make the decision for him, talk to him about what he wants. It’s totally ok to decide to part ways mutually because he wants children and you can’t do that together.

You need to talk to him about this and let him decide, this is not up to you to make and walking away pull crush him more as he loves your kids like his own. Your children are not always of your flesh and blood it is of your heart, love and caring for something that means more than life

Don’t make that decision. There’s fertility options! Weigh everything before giving up!

I’ve had many couples that were told this. The male really wanted children etc. This is more common than you think. Research options. I had a friend that tried so many things for over 10 years…Told there was ZERO chance. She now has a very healthy almost 2 year old son. Never give up hope, and if your man was truly in love with you, he would fully understand and stick by you. Don’t make that decision for him, talk with him and tell him how you feel, put everything on the table, don’t just accept you can’t. There are so many options out there to allow yall to be parents.

Communication is key, I can’t have anymore kids but had emergency hysterectomy.

You should sit and talk with him voice all your concerns etc and go from there. And are you sure you can’t have any more children? I ask bcuz My daughter was having female issues in her early 20’s(22/23) and went to a doctor the did a bunch of tests etc and they told her that she was baron and wouldn’t be able to have children quite upsetting to hear in her early 20’s so she went and got a 2nd opinion and then a 3rd they all came back with the same answer she was baron and could not have children and based on all the tests etc would likely go into pre-menopause before she was 40 which both myself & my mom both went into pre-menopause way early I was 37 and have been done with Aunt Flo since I was 40 I’m 49 now . Anywho Fast forward 3/4yrs after 3 doctor’s all said she can’t conceive is baron and boom I have a now 13 an a half month old grandson and she is expecting again and due in August. I still remember the day she came home throwing pregnancy tests on the table like 5 of them lol freaking out crying laughing and carrying on about " it’s not possible they said it’s not possible" her situation the 1st time around wasn’t ideal at all and her son’s dad is uninvolved etc… so maybe get more then 1 opinion cuz 3 dif doctor’s were wrong about my daughter.

No it’s not wrong. I at one point had the same feeling and my husband has issues so he said he also felt that way. But in The end we decided we didn’t marry each other or date each other solely to have kids. And we will do what we have to do. Thankfully we at least got one blessing but the fight for more has been insane.
