I had been seeing someone...for quite a while...from here...and we broke up today. I had told her in the beginning I would never get married again and that I didn't want any more children (shes 28 and wants one) so my question...was I being to set in my ways??? I know there has to be someone here thats been through this...I'm so confused

It's her lose anyway |

Dude....you told her in the beggining what the deal was. It sux for you but you have no reason to feel guilty.
She probably thought she could change you...and when she saw that she couldnt, she left. |

Don't be down, you are a great guy and you will find your someone special that understands and accepts you for who you really are

The children issue makes or breaks many relationships. I'm 38. I don't want to have any babies now. But for some reason, that makes some men think I won't be good with their existing kids.
I always wanted a family, grew up in a close family, and am very family centric. Just because I don't want babies now doesn't mean I don't want to deal with their children. Someone who is aiming for children and a family shouldn't get into a relationship thinking that the other person will change his mind. |

I agree with Talldub!! I am living with someone right now...and 3 months ago, we both said that we would not live with anyone again!! never? IF you think that you and she can work out some sort of compromise, then work it out. IF you are serious about never, then that is what it is...never. never is pretty clear. How long have you been seeing each other? did you meet on this site? How much time do you spend together? Life is a series of 'non'absolutes...the only thing that is certain, is change!! |

Really? how long? almost a month now...and this starts...she thought maybe I'd change my mind...maybe just to young...this really confuses me |

See...I've already got 2 kids...6 more years to go...I just wanted to enjoy the rest of my life with someone special....can't even type..hands are shaking |

So a month is quite awhile to you?
Let her go, who cares? If she can't accept you for who you are and what you want.... She'll never accept you totally in the long run. |
