I don't know why so many comments are reading this as "she was desperate for a baby" rather than "he married an older woman with kids and then demanded biological children of his own." Given that she SAYS he left her briefly when she couldn't conceive, even with invasive treatment, it seems clear that he made their relationship contingent on her having a child when she was long past that (as anyone who has teen children would feel they were).

When did she say he left her? She said they split briefly, but I can’t see any mention of him leaving her.

Unless I know more I'm going to blame both. I know way to many women who want/try to have children with every serious partner/husband they have. Because that what they thing makes a "real" family. Add to that being the older women I can see were you would feel pressure.

Not to absolve him. You can't assume every 45+ women is going to have an easy time with fertility just because older moms are more visible now. Or that a women with 3 older kids will want more.

But when you meet, get engaged, and married in a year. Maybe you don't ask the hard questions.

Lots of people don’t ask the hard questions at the bf/gf stage let alone before marriage.

I'm struggling to feel sympathy here. Too much stupidity from these people. And entitlement.

I'm in the minority here but I feel for them. Even if she had adult kids by then doesn't mean that she didn't deserve another shot if she wanted it. I'll trust that it was a mutual decision for both, but just with understandable difficulties given her age.
