[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But because she's on the tail end of fertility, she needs to accept the real possibility that she won't have a child if she leaves him either.[/quote]

It is selfish to even consider knowingly bringing a child into a family where the father does not want them.

I didn't say she should. She'll may need to decide between keeping her current partner and being alone forever.[/quote]

What’s preventing her from finding a new partner? She may not be able to become pregnant but that’s another matter. [/quote]

There's no guarantee she'll find someone knew or have a child.[/quote]

That’s life. There are few guarantees. There is nothing to prevent OP from trying.
 [/quote]

That's right. She could try, but things could end up worse.[/quote]

Worse how?

What might happen that won’t happen if she remains in her present situation? She might not find a partner that wants a child? That’s her present situation.

Define worse.

She could end up alone.[/quote]

Being alone doesn't sound worse than being married to someone who doesn't want your child.

[b]I mean, look at all the threads on here about people whining about how their spouses do nothing, and they theoretically wanted kids. Many of them say they wished their spouse would just die. So again, being alone is what they're looking for. [/b]

Maybe it's just that you think having kids is the only thing anyone is ever meant to do so you put that above all else. I love my kids and I'm so happy we had them but I could also have a rich and fulfilling life without them, as many of my friends do. [/quote]

There has to be a connection between deciding to marry someone you've known for only about year (a very common timeline here) and having a spouse that ends up not contributing or not wanting the family (a very common complaint here).

Not really. The two couples in our friend group who had dated and been together the longest are the two that have divorced. My husband and I dated for about 14 months before getting engaged (and got married 6 months after that) and we're happily married almost 20 years later.[/quote]
