Alissa From Quora

"I’m having a boy and I’m not happy about it. What should I do?

I felt exactly the same way when I was pregnant with my son. I was extremely upset for months thinking of hypothetical things having a son would possibly mean (i. e. high car insurance premium, forgetting my birthday, forsaking his family for his future wife). I did not cope well, and can you believe some self righteous, arrogant relatives actually shamed me for it? That is quite an unproductive thing to do, so I will not do the same to you.

My advice to you for the time being is just to concentrate on having a healthy pregnancy, take prenatal vitamins, keep up with your prenatal care and try to avoid becoming sick. A baby boy is very attached and loving toward his mother when he is small. If you try again for another child, perhaps consider going to one of those specialty IVF clinics to guarantee a girl. I wish you all the best!"

Do most women feel this way?

New relationships have so much excitement and energy. There are surprises and unexpected pleasures and every day brings something new. But after some period of months, or maybe a few years, there aren't many surprises and the excitement isn't at the same level as before. Eventually, you've tried everything you wanted to do in the bedroom and you are repeating things you've done before. It's the same-old same-old.

Some people are okay with things settling into a routine. For some of us, knowing what to expect is comfortable, and we don't have a need for excitement as much as we need stability and comfort. But some people need more excitement and stimulation. (How many people claim that they cheated on a partner because they got "bored?")

For this question, "long term relationship" means a relationship that has lasted at least one year. What do YOU need in a LTR: stability and comfort, or excitement and novelty?
