He waited until our 6-month anniversary to tell me he doesn't want kids
Hannah Lee · February 20, 2026
I'm devastated. We had the best 6 months. I was falling hard. And then over dinner he casually drops that he's childfree and "assumed I knew." HOW WOULD I KNOW?? We never discussed it because I assumed at 34 he'd at least be open to it. I feel like I wasted half a year. Why do people wait so long to share fundamental dealbreakers? I'm heartbroken and angry.

Adding to this — "Why We Love" by Helen Fisher is also incredible.

Read 'Attached' and it literally changed my entire perspective on relationships.
