The frozen egg route is certainly no slam dunk. I can see why people do this when, say, facing chemotherapy or some other serious even before having children. It's like having money in the bank, except the stats on frozen egg success vary wildly. It's hardly a plan for late-life parenthood.
I never said freezing eggs was a guarantee, I work in healthcare so I’m very well aware of all the statistics regarding the success rate. And when you go through the process of you go to reputable place are informed of everything it entails. Mentioning the egg freezing was a side bar, and they would only be used if I was unsuccessful trying on my own with a partner.
Not really. I had a dad and he sucked, he beat me all the time as a kid. The best thing that ever happened to me was the day he died. So sometimes a kid is better off without a dad. No dad is better than a bad dad.
I’m sorry this happened to you, but I don’t think it makes for a good argument to avoid having a father for your child. I had a great dad and would like the same for my child if I’m able to.
If we got married I would want to sign a prenup as I’m pretty well off myself and own a number of properties. I think I maybe mentioned this once before only to clarify that money isn’t really an issue for either one of us.
Frozen embryos and well to do financially - why don't you just have a child and not try to find a reluctant father figure?

But this changes the point I was making how? You can buy sperm, have it donated, or whatever.

I also worked in healthcare in leading medical centers in Boston and was very aware of the whole fertility issue and current studies, etc. I didn't know that everyone reading it would be the same.
You two do not have common goals. He is a risky investment. I'd notify him asap that given your different feelings about wanting a child, you must pull back from any type of exclusivity agreement you have with him. Start dating other men. Lots of men. Get yourself back "out there" pronto, and never ever become exclusive with a man who doesn't share your values and goals.
I'm sorry but I'm sure it's going to be hard to find a man to date who won't feel like a sperm donor on the first date. It's really hard to find a good guy.
