It IS ridiculous for a man who expects to have kids to be able to climb mountains and backpack around everywhere. If she’d asked how he thought that could work while having kids, that would have been a better discussion. That’s different from this can’t possibly work if you have kids and then, to cause insult to injury, she insulted the one goal that would take him away from family the most: writing the song.
She rightfully thought he was saying that he had all these life goals - none of which mentioned family or kids - and most of which were time consuming, geographically distant, and not kid friendly. He WAS implicitly saying that.
He seems like a nice enough person but it is weird he claims to never have been in love and his life goals mention nothing about a family. Red flags.
I don’t agree at all. They are 25 and 26. They have several “fun” years ahead of them before starting a family to enjoy being married and being in their 20s! One of his goals was to skydive in the tropics. That’s a vacation. One of his goals was to hike the Andes to Machu Picchu. I did that when I was 27, easily. Not one of those goals and dreams even made me blink. It’s not like he wants to be the President!
Katie is awful and a total buzzkill. I don’t see why he’s catering to her.
