Well that was fun while it lasted....
So I apologize if i'm slightly rambling in this post because I am considerably drunk at the moment. But here's the story. I've been seeing this guy for about a month and a half, and he asked me to be his girlfriend about a month ago. We hit it off really well and clicked right away and he was pretty much perfect. Like seriously, one of the coolest guys i've ever met. And we have similar taste in music which is a huge first for me, we have very similar interests in general, we make each other laugh, plus he lives in walking distance from me. We had potential to be a pretty much perfect couple. The night he asked me to be his girlfriend I mentioned that I have PCOS, and he said he had been in other relationships with people who also had reproductive issues and didn't seem to mind. I hadn't yet mentioned that I'm childfree on top of that.
So tonight he sent me a text telling me that he's sorry, but he had done some research on PCOS and found out that it's the #1 cause of infertility, and he's dead set on having a family to carry on his family name since he's pretty much the last remaining member of his side of the family and "can't risk it". So long story short he broke up with me because i'm infertile. So i'm kind of stunned at the moment and don't know what to make of this. I can't believe that just happened. Part of me is really glad that he was upfront about it before we really got deep into the relationship and I kind of dodged a bullet, but the other part of me is a little bit pissed off to say the least. Like, say I DID want to have kids, I can't imagine how horrible I would feel right now. I would feel like the biggest failure on earth because of something I have no control over. Luckily, I have no desire to ever reproduce, but i'm still upset because I can't believe someone would be willing to throw away a perfectly good relationship simply because it would never result in having children. It just baffles me. Good riddance, I guess :/ I just wish we hadn't hit it off so well initially because I really, really liked him.
