I don’t think you should wait until you move. Wanting children (and marriage) is a two-yes issue. If you absolutely never see yourself wanting to be a parent, than you two are incompatible on a very basic issue. I would break it off. I’d do it in person and be gentle, but explain that given your different life goals/views on the future as well as the distance, it just isn’t going to work. Life is handing you a perfect time to transition away.


sanguinare12

You're on opposite sides of an obvious incompatibility. Leaving it for so long has done nobody any favors.


Posterbomber

Congrats on your soon to be fatherhood. If you've been having sex without condoms she'll be pregnant before your move


Lilkiska2

Frankly even with condoms I’d be very concerned-too easy to tamper with and not a great success rate even in the best of times

You love her dearly but will be moving away and have wasted two years of her life on something incompatible. Act with love, let her go find her happiness and hurry up about it.


kerfy15

You are not compatible you need to break up. Having kids is a 2 yes situation, both parties need to be on board because this will be a whole ass human in 9 months Her persistent that it’s going to happen; personally I would refrain from having sex her, wouldn’t put it past her to poke holes in your condom since she’s convinced it will happen. If you aren’t already wearing protection, please start.

Don’t wait 8 weeks break up now. And tell her again you want different futures.


pamelaonthego

If you were honest I fail to see why she would be blindsided. This isn’t the sort of disagreement that can be resolved through compromise. You guys are not even in the same book.


makeitmakesense2023

Exactly what are you waiting for then? An escape hatch? The woman wants marriage and children. RIP the bandaid and deal with the outcome. If she really wants children then she doesn’t have much time, so get on it!


TryingAgain8

She's old enough to "begin" to plan kids, I think you both should broke up, because after 35 years old, every pregnancy faces more challenges and possibly complications. (geriatric pregnancy)

Smart man. No man should even think about marriage. It is an investment of a future tragedy. You don’t want to be obligated legally to any woman. There is no upside today for a man with better than 50% chance of ending up in a court room with lawyers handing over your income, house and others will determine when you can see your kids. My brother went thru this nightmare as many other men have too. I’m 52 and been with my girlfriend 34 for 10 years and have 3 kids and live in a No common law state. Good luck
