Today, after hearing the doctor saying my girlfriend can never be pregnant, I got a bit too excited. I'm currently on the 5th hour of the silent treatment. FML

Get a vasectomy if you don't want children. Sympathize with your girlfriend because learning of infertility can be devastating for some.

Well I would say that you deserved it but you already know that.

I'm surprised you were able to get a girlfriend in the first place when you clearly have zero compassion.

I don't want kids, and with PCOS for three generations on my mother's side that worsens each generation it is unlikely I can get pregnant. (Not impossible, but unlikely). She might have cared to have kids and was told she can't, and your joy is just being insensitive to her pain. I've heard of 4 women told that are 100% infertile having children because no birth control and something like weight loss occurred to correct hormones. Never say never.

You more than deserve it! Being told I'm infertile is my worst nightmare, and if I was in your girlfriend's place, you'd probably be missing a few pieces by now.

OP, I can't help but sympathize with your instinctive reaction. Having kids would literally be a life-ruiner for me...little kids disgust me, I despise being needed and responsible for someone else's well-being, and perhaps most importantly, the hormones from pregnancy and birth would likely topple the neurochemical balance I've struggled with so many meds for so long to achieve. Finding out that I never had to worry about that danger ever again would be a dream come true for me! But obviously your girlfriend is coming from a vastly different place than I am, and as you've already figured out, you really should have bitten your tongue. I don't think things are ever going to be the same in your relationship again, OP, so just bear this lesson in mind for the next time.

yeah you were kind of an asshole op..take your punishment

Girlfriend? What girlfriend? All I see is someone who really doesn't deserve one
