broke up over kids

Author

I’m 25 yrs old and idk if i want kids. We started dating june 14 broke up in october 11. He knew my stance but changed his mind over the last two months of our relationship. it was a short relationship but he was my first love and it hurts so bad. he think he’ll regret me over time. i get his choice but we were a match until that. and i would have given him kids but just not now. he wants them before 30 and i want them in my mid 30’s. i’m so sad because he was my everything and my emotional anchor. i have literally no one else. its so silent without him. It makes me think he never loved me because true love prevails through hardship and he didnt even wanna try. i feel worthless & i just want to forget this happened

do you think part of why it hurts so bad is because you feel like you’d have eventually met him halfway if he’d just stayed?

YES. thats literally what i told him. that i just have to grow into it bc its not an easy decision. i love children, but im a woman and its more work for me. but i would do it for him and it wasnt enough

the silence after losing your emotional anchor is brutal. i remember how empty everything felt. what helped me a little was filling the quiet with small things that made me feel alive again — music, walks, friends, anything. not to erase him, just to remind myself i still existed outside of him.

my ex left because he wanted to settle down sooner and i wasn’t ready yet either. it’s such a mindfuck when love feels right but timing ruins everything. i used to replay it thinking “if he really loved me, he’d wait.” took me a long time to realize it’s not about not being enough — it’s about him not being able to hold the uncertainty.
