Today, I told my boyfriend of three years that I wanted to get married and have a child within the next five years. He responded by packing up my things and showing me the door. FML

Lucky that you found out now and don't have to waste five more years on someone who doesn't want the same things in life as you.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Did y'all previously talk about your future? maybe he didn't want kids or he panicked when he was given a time limit. Again sorry to hear this as that was an extreme reaction.

Well, that answers that. Having kids at your age is a good plan, OP, but it looks like you need someone who actually wants you as the mother for his children.

Would you have wasted 3 years of your life without having that conversation at all? Wanting kids is something that should be known pretty early on into the relationship.

Or maybe he doesn't want kids or to get married. Or maybe, despite wanting marriage, he likes to take his time with relationships and wants to be absolutely certain. Maybe OP's ex doesn't want kids. Whatever it is, OP's ex was not ever obligated to want to have marriage and kids with OP within the next 5 years.

As bad as that sounds, you can't just give a time limit.

While this is unfortunate for sure, I'm more tempted to say YDI. OP had a boyfriend for 3 YEARS, yet not once had a conversation about the future? Obviously this is an important issue for both of them, so if they never talked about it before, that simply tells me that they were immature and/or didn't take the relationship seriously.

We don't know that they never talked about it. Although it does seem like they never did before.

I talked about it with my first husband just for him to tell me after 3 years he only told me what I wanted hear so he could get in my pants. She may have talked to him and he was comfortable how they were until she got serious.

He just gave you five extra years of your youth to find someone who actually does want to get married and have a child. I'd call that lucky :)

you never talked about whether you're both kids people or no kids people in 3 years? yikes. well better late than never. if you want babies, better to find out that this isn't the partner for you than being "stuck" with him. good luck finding someone to impregnate you, OP.

You'd think you would've talked about that type of future within your 3 year relationship
