This happened to me, and the worst thing is he lied to me for 11 years about wanting children, putting it off telling me we needed a bigger house or a bigger car etc, he basically lied to me the whole relationship/marriage. A year after meeting him I said I was desperate to have a family (early 20’s) and that if he didn’t, I would understand and it was kinder to tell me then than lead me on. He assured me over and over there he wanted children. By the time I plucked up the courage to leave, I had no confidence, and felt so ugly. I don’t have the confidence to be with anyone else, and now I’m too old biologically for children. So basically he ruined my life. I am so angry with myself for going along with it. I was stupid. I’ve had counselling and everything, been suicidal. I’m alone and all I ever wanted was my own children. I know I could adopt, however as women you will appreciate it’s not the same as carrying a child yourself.SPOILER (sorry don't know how to do the link to hide my post??)

How sad for Tiff and her fiance
I hope Emily finds a nice guy soon. Harvey the man-child has treated her awfully, she deserves way better.
100% agree. I have a few friends and know of several women who effectively wasted their entire 20s in a long-term relationship (talking 8-10 years) for this to happen exactly as you've said.
Anyway that’s a lot isn’t it, sorry x
