If you couldn’t have anymore children but your partner did
would you ever agree to him wanting to have a child with someone else and essentially becoming a blended family? or a step parent of some sort

lol what no we would adopt. There are a lot of options and that's not one I've ever heard suggested

No, far too complicated and not a reasonable expectation on your part.
If you both want more children look into adopting /legitimate surrogacy / donor egg IVF if a possibility.

And you stay together? Absolutely not! If it's that important to him then he needs to end the romantic relationship with you and you can co-parent for the kids. But for me the romantic side would be over.
If it's a dealbreaker for him then that's difficult but ok. It's just one of those things! But I wouldn't be staying with someone who has gone off and had a child with someone else during our relationship.

Adoption, IVF (if applicable), even surrogacy would be a topic of conversation before that question ever came up and even if it did I’d find it bizarre and uncomfortable. Feels like it’s not a conversation about having more children but a sneaky way to cheat.

Definitely not! Surrogacy or adoption would be an option but not sharing my partner with someone else and him getting two families that sounds crazy!

No 😳

Absolutely NOT i dont share

I’d try and adopt. That’s far to complicated x

This is satire right?

Him sleeping with someone else so he gets to have another child whilst essentially cheating on you and then you all playing happy little families? Nah fuck that lol

Nope, I have fertility issues and my partner has been aware of this from day 1 of our relationship. We are blessed to have our son but my partner wants a minimum of 2-3 children, if I couldn’t go on to have future children we would look into IVF / adoption or end the romantic relationship if it was super important to him to find another woman to start a family with, or - we’d just accept that, we can’t have anymore children and accept our family as it is!

Absolutely not and neither of us would ever suggest or want that! If I couldn’t have anymore and we both wanted more we’d look into IVF (depending on if that’s possible with why I couldn’t have more) or adoption/surrogacy, if he couldn’t have anymore we’d look into a sperm donor, or we’d be grateful for the children we already had and not have anymore x

Absolutely not. I’d adopt

What? 🤣 are we being pranked?
Absolutely not. If I could afford it I’d consider a surrogate, but this is highly unlikely, so in that case I’d go adoption. Any other option is wild to me
