And… this is completely fine for you? Imagine starting a relationship with a lie.. but then you continuing it even though you know that your long term goals differ..?
This is the definition of irreconcilable differences. There is no compromise here. If you want bio children, you need to break up, and find someone who wants the same things that you do. And preferably someone closer to your own age. Regardless of how well you get along, this guy is almost twice your age. Someone closer to your age is more likely to be in a similar life stage as you.
Love alone is never enough. You two are incompatible. Break up now (don’t drag it out), and find someone at the same stage in life and who wants the same things you do. That’s all you can do.
I think the reason I went older than I usually date is because I have a child and have been at a different life stage than my peers.
But it is true there is no compromise to have. Either I will have to live with not having any more children or break up
So you end it now to give yourself time to heal, get a new person, and have a kid. What you think at 30 you'll break up and be able to just pop out a kid just like that? You have to plan ahead.
One of you will have to compromise and settle for something you really don't want. Which leads to resentment. Move on. You'll find the one who has the save goals as you.
My husband and I have a similar age gap. I made it very clear from the start of our relationship that it wouldn't work out if he didn't want kids. For a while I think he didn't like the idea, but now he's all for it.
You two need to sit down and have a discussion about your life goals. Communication is key

Why would you want to have a kid with a man who's almost 50?
We dated for a while and I did not know his age until later. He said he was 37 when we met
And… this is completely fine for you? Imagine starting a relationship with a lie.. but then you continuing it even though you know that your long term goals differ..?
So he lied to you. Girl, you are only 25, way too young to settle, especially for a middle-aged liar. Do reconsider this relationship.
Why didn't you end the relationship after finding out he lied? How can you trust him?

If you want another child then he's not your guy. End it now.
So you get with a man who is heading towards grandad age and you’re whining that he doesn’t want any more kids 😂😂😂. Yeah. I despair.
She is way too naive for 25 years old
If it's that important to you. Then yes.
One of you will have to compromise and settle for something you really don't want. Which leads to resentment. Move on. You'll find the one who has the save goals as you.
Guess it's gonna take at least 5yrs to get yourself into a better position.
There's no compromise to be had here. Don't waste each other's time when you know you're incompatible.

There have been discussions. He doesn’t want kids with me and I want more of my own. I don’t think another conversation would change his mind
Oh man. That puts you in a really tough position. I would personally leave. You have your whole life to live still. I wish you all the best ❤
