Not as funny as you think, but I get your point that the premeditated intent is not necessarily there. But men know biology too. It’s lazy, careless, and, yes, cruel to burn through a woman’s fertility window while you know you still have more time to have offspring. It’s like telling someone you can drive when you cant and then driving them into an accident. They are left permanently injured while you walk away. |
It's only immoral if the woman is interested in marriage. Assuming every woman wants to get married or that Jennifer Aniston didn't have kids because Brad Pitt stole her best year are ridiculous assumption that attempt to protect women to the point they actually become sexist. We have no idea if she was already having fertility issues when she was with Brad Pitt. |
| Better not to have children with someone who doesn’t love you or is in the spectrum. Run away at the first sign and continue with your life. |

A man who forces a pregnancy on you is much worse. Happened to me.
These women can leave when action is not happening. |
I agree with this but men don’t have to pay you money. Similar earnings mean you don’t get a dime. |
Like Joe? |
No respect for this. dating 20 somethings is wasting their time. This is how they get to 30 and don't have the skills to build a relationship with someone who wants the same things in life they do. |
. I am sorry that you were raised that way. But now you realize it and you are choosing to stay in it. You have no kids. You could divorce tomorrow and start over in a 1 br and your life would be so much better without that albatross around your neck. |
It’s kind of funny. But you’re right that not being bothered by ruining plastic that costs money is just part of the dynamic, to be followed by “woe is me, my wife is going on about plastic dishes.” |
| Women let this happen. Demand a ring after two years or leave. Agree on when to have kids before the wedding and hold him to it. If you let him renege once he knows he can do it again and again. If you stay in a relationship for five or more years in your 30s and emerge childless you only have yourself to blame. |
| I realize this is effed up, but one of the main points of my husbands affair that I can't get over is that he stole the OW's fertility without even giving it a thought. |
Nobody else is responsible for her fertility but her. She actively chose to date this guy. That's 100% on her. |
Amen! OP writes as if women don’t have any agency here. |
| "Stealing" gives men way too much credit. Any woman can convince him to get her pregnant or just end the relationship. |
A baby does not make men stay. |
