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.

Jeez, what a jerk. YDI. Even if you don't want kids, she can never have any. You should have been supportive of her heartbreaking news, especially since it seems obvious you never discussed this topic.

She still with you? She must really love a butthead like you because if I learned I could never have children I would be devastated and would be hurt if somebody was happy about my pain. You deserve the silent treatment and more you insensitive bootyhole.

I started to click YDI, but really it was just an honest reaction. Good luck OP, this might take awhile.

He doesn't deserve a girlfriend, and neither do you. We are not empty vessels for you to dump your sperm.

Silent treatment? I'd be silently planning to dump your ass with that type of a response. When I was told I wouldn't be able to get pregnant I cried for over a week.

That's extremely hard on a girl, what if you were to marry her. you'd probably be upset when you wanted to have kids of your own.

Wow, that's extremely harsh. Even if she doesn't want kids, it's a really difficult thing to hear that you can never have kids even if you change your mind. It's heartbreaking... Growing up a woman is growing up with the understanding we have the power to create life if we so choose, and having that taken away without us having a say in it is very difficult.

Personally, this would be amazing news, but I understand how tragic being infertile is for many people. Stop being a dick, apologize and sympathize for/with her.

i would find this amazing news as well. would save me the trouble of getting my tubes tied. I dont want kids, and i have never wanted kids.

I'd be having a party to celebrate for sure, though I do think OP should have kept his reaction private.

Imagine how she feels hearing that news. You need to sympathize a bit!

I would be happy to hear I was infertile, but some people like your girlfriend probably want kids. to them it's devastating. I would suggest adoption or a surrogate if she wants kids. but discuss it with her first and make sure it's what you both want. if she wants a kid, then perhaps reach a compromise?

I think wanting children is kind of a make or break deal; If OP doesn't want kids and OPs gf does, kind of makes it hard to compromise.

but that's the thing. not enough people are willing to compromise. if you're planning to get married. you'll have years and years of making compromises. I know for some people it's a deal breaker. but if you're unwilling to compromise then your relationship will fail. in my opinion, too many people see relationships as something that can be thrown away like that if things aren't going as well as they want. they don't work hard enough to make it work. if op really loves his girlfriend, he'll make sacrifices for her sake. just as she should make sacrifices for him. kids are a big deal. but just because they don't agree now doesn't mean they should just throw it away. spend some time evaluating things and talk with her. then after a while or if you're strongly against the idea of ever having children then it might be a good thing to say goodbye. but if you're unsure, not ready and only slightly dislike the idea, then try and work it out. opinion may just not be ready to have kids, but that doesn't mean he's strongly against the idea. he may love his girlfriend so much, he'd rather have a kid than lose her. you don't have to have one just yet. the last thing she needs is to deal with a breakup after learning she can't have kids. support her in this time if you love her. op, would you rather have a kid later in the future or break up with your girlfriend? which is more important to you?

But there's no way to compromise on the issue of children. The partner who doesn't want any at all is going to be miserable with even just one, and if they don't have kids, the one who did want them is going to feel permanently unfulfilled. Kids don't come with a return policy.

Hi, I'm a compromise kid and it really ******* sucks. My dad cheerfully admits that he never wanted me and let me tell you it's hell. The fact that I'm disabled makes it worse because he can tell my mom "I told you so" all the live long day. Kids are not something you should compromise on at all.
