[quote=Anonymous]OP here - the man with whom I'm in a relationship was married previously for over 10 years.  His wife left him in 2013 and his divorce was finalized earlier this year.  He took a job here in DC that he had been planning on taking while he was still married, and had he still been married, his then-wife and child would have accompanied him.

I would not ever trick a man or have an oops baby.  Just not a good way to be, and not how I am.

Not sure if I can have a child, as I have never had the opportunity to try.  There are not many guarantees in life, but I'm in good health and willing to do whatever is necessary to have a healthy child.

Also, I don't resent my boyfriend's daughter.  I feel a lot of compassion for a child whose parents recently divorced and who is basically left behind with just one parent and separated by a long distance and long periods of time from the other parent.

In posting here, I was looking for any advice from any women/men who've really wanted a child, but had to forgo having one because they were in a relationship with someone who did not want more.  How does one get past that disappointment and regret?  And what substitutes are there for having a child of one's own?  I already have a dog, but that cannot ever be the same.  Thanks![/quote]
