[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I've considered having a child on my own, but it is not ideal, given my age (would have been easier to do when younger given all the work, and my finances - single income in DC area).  I've always wanted a family consisting of a husband who is the father of my child.

To be very honest, [b]I probably would be okay with not having a child at my current age if the man I were with were in the same boat - no child of his own[/b].  But, seeing and hearing about my current man's child is a reminder of what I am missing out on, and what I will be missing out on if I stay with him.  It is also hard not sharing that bond with him and a direct, unending connection with his ex.  I already resent him and this special relationship he has with someone who loves him unconditionally.  I'm not sure how to stop the resentment.[/quote]

I know what you mean OP. I felt that way about my now-husband. He had two kids from a previous marriage and was pretty sure he didn't want more. I kept fast forwarding to a future where holidays were spent with his kids/grandkids. I wasn't ok with that, even though I like his kids and have no resentment toward them--it was more about seeing what[i] I[/i] wasn't going to have. In the end, he changed his mind and we had a child. I am currently pregnant with our second (that he talked me into!).[/quote]
