Search Results: in love with a stranger

I realize asking strangers online will not solve my very real dilemma, but I thought I would anyway just to see what you all say.

Ultimately the choice is mine and only mine.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend because he is indecisive on having children. Because of a previous marriage he is now traumatized to get married and have kids again. We love each other but I know I want marriage and kids.

Since I recently broke up with him, we still talk everyday and he told me he's thinking about kids more than he ever has before and how he doesn't want to lose me...

Wellll... to get over him quicker and distract myself because I'm so distraught over this breakup, I started talking to a man I briefly talked to before I got serious with my boyfriend. This man wants marriage, kids the whole shebang. We get along pretty well and I do like him.

The problem? Should I hold off with this new man until I'm absolutely sure my boyfriend has made up his mind about kids or should I just accept he's indecisive and start this new relationship with someone who actually wants what I want?

And no, no matter how many of you advise I take a break from dating altogether, I won't do that.

This is a reference to a story that aired on the Today show that because of the law in Arizona that abortions are only allowed to save the mother's life so this mother couldn't have an abortion at 21 weeks even though it was medically determined that the fetus was incompatible with life. https://www.yahoo.com/news/roe-v-wade-ruling-she-163634224.html This is one of the heartbreaking stories that like others will be revealed after this ruling, and not everyone will have the money or the resources to travel to another state so don't even start with "she could go to another state" argument. So as usual those with heartbreaking outcomes who are poor will continue to suffer needlessly.

I looked at the Facebook page and I was so embarrassed that some of the most heartless things said to this woman were from other women who claimed to be pro-life. They acted like she was some kind of heartless monster because it was breaking her heart that the fetus was suffering seizures inside of her of she wanted to end her unborn child's suffering. Who are these people? If being pro-life means that we have no empathy for someone in a heartbreaking situation, I just cannot be a party to that.

I think about children that are diagnosed with terminal illness, we let their parents decide what care they shall receive and how long to prolong their life and when to let them die with dignity, why should we look at the situation with the unborn differently? Why in this situation would we not let the parents advocate for the unborn child, they love their unborn child more than any of us strangers could.
