No respect for this. dating 20 somethings is wasting their time. This is how they get to 30 and don't have the skills to build a relationship with someone who wants the same things in life they do.
Nah. I treat them well and set a standard for how the guy their age they eventually end up with should handle things.

A baby does not make men stay.

Amen! OP writes as if women don’t have any agency here.

Nobody else is responsible for her fertility but her. She actively chose to date this guy. That's 100% on her.

Women let this happen. Demand a ring after two years or leave. Agree on when to have kids before the wedding and hold him to it. If you let him renege once he knows he can do it again and again. If you stay in a relationship for five or more years in your 30s and emerge childless you only have yourself to blame.

I’m off to find another devious way to harm women. My next scam is to put plastic dishes on the bottom shelf of the dishwasher - they’ll be warped just like the patriarchy! ***laughs in evil***
It’s kind of funny. But you’re right that not being bothered by ruining plastic that costs money is just part of the dynamic, to be followed by “woe is me, my wife is going on about plastic dishes.”

Well I’m in a marriage where I haven’t had a child yet due to lack of interest and cooperation from my husband. Now I’m too terrified to leave as bow can I divorce, fall in love and have a baby with rapidly declining fertility?
How old are you? Maybe you can freeze eggs (although there is no guarantee that would work either) or just run now if you are still young.
My AH husband and family stole my fertility - arranged marriage in early 20s. Husband is asexual, couldn't divorce due to cultural beliefs and parental pressure even though we are not compatible in anything. Tried IVFs in early 30's but found out my egg supply diminished early and my only option was egg donor. So I lost the chance to have my own biological kid because I stayed in a shitty sexless marriage. I've become a very bitter person since I was raised to stay and suffocate and that family honor was important. Now I am always depressed. Still married to a guy I hate.
I hope hearing this would help you.
I am sorry that you were raised that way. But now you realize it and you are choosing to stay in it. You have no kids. You could divorce tomorrow and start over in a 1 br and your life would be so much better without that albatross around your neck.

This is criminal!
