| I don't doubt her husband's immaturity don't see any maturity in OP herself either. |
True. You can be so focused on one thing that it eclipses everything else. OP has depression and needs treatment, not necessarily romance and babies. |
+1 if you can support a man then why not support a kid instead |
If you leave at least you have an element of hope. If you stay, you know what you are dealing with. |
| OP, I agree with everyone here. Divorce and start fresh. Terrified of being in your 30s and childless? Of course. But more of what you have going now is a recipe for so much misery. |
| I ended a terrible relationship in my mid-30’s. Granted we weren’t married, but had been together a long time and assumed a future together. When I left, I decided to build my life in a way that I could be happy even if I were to go it alone. It was hard at first, but a year later I was living my best life and felt fully in control of my happiness. I think because I was so comfortable with myself, I met someone in my late 30’s, got married and have 2 great kids now. You just never know where life takes you. You are so young and have so much to look forward to if you take a chance on yourself. |

But, it’s less nightmare-ish than being married to an unemployed, un-empathetic husband and raising a kid with a bad dad? OP, right now you only have bad choices in front of you - the least worse one is being single and childless. At least that choice allows for the possibility of a better future. Divorce, get a therapist and work on doing the things that are in your control to make a happy life. |
Yes, you are trying to be mean and you are cruel. You are a nasty pos. - DP |

Freeze your eggs and divorce. Do not have kids with this man.
My friend found a wonderful guy at 37. she dumped her fiancé at 35 when she saw some red flags. when she became ok with being alone, she found a good man to marry and have a kid with. |
| If you really want to be a mom, I’d divorce asap and use a sperm donor or adopt. You still have time to become a mom. I have friends who did IVF and had babies into their early 40s. It sounds like you have the resources based on your family. But you cannot waste time with this dud anymore. Use it as a lesson going forward and try to find a better partner in the future. Look for other people who married young and then divorced/are looking for a fresh start. |
Divorce now. Staying will be worse. Believe me. |
