“You could meet somebody and for that year it feels incredible, but there is never a guarantee because there are so many variables that can happen. Life is a funny old game.”

Ahh, so that's basically what happened between her and Liam. I'm in my early 30's and I want children. If I had her money I would do it.

that statement hit home for me because even though in my twenties and still very much on the fence about eventually having children because 1. I'm single and have no plans to change that, and 2. I probably can't ever afford it, I feel like I've seen so many relationships (celebrity or otherwise) deteriorate after children become involved and I would be constantly terrified of that happening. I don't know if I'd ever feel truly secure enough in a relationship to not subconsciously suspect that the other person will tire of me once I've produced their offspring. and the world does NOT view single mothers kindly, especially if they're trying to date again

Yeah, IA. And Liam seems like he likes the idea of playing dad but not actually putting in the work.

That's so many men too. My brother in law appears as a devoted Dad on social media but is impatient and dumps his kids of whenever he can to go do whatever he likes to do.

yep, this is also the fear - even if a guy is content in the marriage, they'll still most likely foist off an unfair share of household labor onto me and if I make a stink about it in *any* way, I'll be the problem. that's true even if we don't have kids, from what I can tell

Valid fear, your reply reminded me of this:

I think if you have money, being a single parent might have some advantages. You don't have to run every decision past your partner, you don't have to argue about anything having to do with how you want to raise the child. It's a lot of freedom.
