Hey guys,
I'm 34 and I've had this strong urge to have a kid since I was 27. It’s only gotten stronger, but my friends think I’m crazy whenever I bring it up. For some context, I was with my ex for 5 years, we lived in California, moved to Chicago for her law school, and after that ended, I moved back to California alone. I was engaged, and the person I wanted to have a child with doesn’t want anything to do with me now. She’s in a relationship, and if she has a kid with him, she said she’d keep that baby. So yeah, that’s tough.
Now I feel this pressure to find someone, settle down, and make it work. But I love the idea of having a little me running around. I wonder though, is it crazy to just go it alone? Like, adopt, be a single dad, or even find someone to co-parent with? I’m just wondering if other guys feel this way, or have had similar experiences. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Best,
D
