Youve got problems, Ive got advice.
This advice isnt sugar-coatedin fact, its sugar-free, and may even be a little bitter.
Welcome to Tough Love.
This week we have a guy whos really into a girl hes seeing.
Problem is, he doesnt want kids ever and she does.
I simply want to give you the tools you should probably enrich your damn lives.
If for whatever reason you dont like my advice, feel free tofile a formal complaint here.
Now then, lets get on with it.
Hey Patrick,
I was this close [holds fingers closely together] to getting a vasectomy this month.
Im 29, no kids, not interested in having them.
Started seeing a new girl within the past few weeksalso 29 and no kids.
Were crazy about each other, and its the best communication Ive ever had with a woman.
She wants them but she doesnt have as much experience with them as I do.
We dont want to waste each others time.
But were really enjoying this ride and click in almost every other way.
So, how screwed are we?
Accepting that this probably has a shelf life is going to be shitty.
Thanks in advance for the tough love, Patrick.
Her spending a little time with your niece and nephew isnt going to change her perspective.
Assuming you guys stay together, one day shell resent you and wonder what could have been.
Children is a big thing to disagree on!
Its not like you want a blue couch and she wants a white one.
On your end, canceling a vasectomy is not the same asmaybe wanting children someday.
The fact that you had planned to get a vasectomy in the first place speaks volumes, Uncle.
Youre just hitting the snooze button because you dont want to wake up from this dream!
In six months, you know whats going to happen?
Youre going to realize that, deep down, you both still feel the same way.
The only thing that will change is youll have made everything so much harder.
Are you ready for that?
If not, its time to stop hitting the snooze button.
You havent been dating that long.
Wake up and smell the coffee that rugrats havent spilled all over your kitchen.
