Wow, that is really a lot of postcards :o

And the letters with coloured ink and fancy paper sound awesome. I haven't written a proper letter in ages. I sent my mom a christmas card this year and I wrote a birthday card that I'll give to her with her present, that's probably the closest I've come to a letter in years.

Congrats on finishing your thesis LittleJulez!!!

*hugs back and takes the ice cream* Thank you :qsob:

I've already had three ice creams today. One after our shopping, took chocolate chip mint. Then in the evening I had the teeny-tiny raspberry sorbet (shared with bf), and then we went to the store again and I got a popsicle that was supposed to be a sorbet. It wasn't :qsob: #disappointment

Yeah, got slightly depressed :mcargh:

I don't know. It's pretty late already. I think I just fucked up with being emotional. And he's fucked up. I'm mad and sad and everything's wrong. I'm telling him my side, then ask about his, and he just says he doesn't know and sees no point in discussing stuff and he'll think about it when he'll think about it. And I have no reason to feel insecure. He just doesn't listen to me and gets mad and irritated as if I opened some stupid Pandora's box.
Spoiler
And only because I wanted to make some compromise between my "I want to be pregnant with our first child by the time I'm 25 at most" and his "we don't have the conditions to think about it". So you see, he's not even willing to talk or listen, while I need some assurance and planning and I want to know his opinion. It's that simple. I want to know how much I'll have to push my line up from 25. And instead of something relevant, I heard: "first child at 28 is socially acceptable" (my brain: I don't care if it is or not, irrelevant argument), "I'm afraid you'll be a bad mother", "I'm afraid I'll be a bad father", "I'll be raising a child AND you as well", "you're helpless a lot of times", "you have mood swings so I think you'll be mad and angry with kids all the time and I won't stand it and just walk out and neve go back".
All the above is just normal, besides maybe being angry, I mean wtf, I'm not a psycho, who the hell do you think I am, do you know me at all? am I such a monster in every day life? srsly? and helpless? thanks for appreciating all work I put into improving myself, that feels real good to know it's noticed. It's not like I'm actually that angry all the time, I'm oversensitive and I react with intense emotions at times. Sorry it shows when I'm tired and just can't wait to get some vacation. Plus I have a lot on my mind right now you know you sick fucker?
And THEN I heard some actually relevant stuff like "I thought more like 25 was my age for starting thinking about kids, I'm in no hurry to have them unlike you." So I ask, okay, so how far up should I put the bar? Because I don't want to have my first child in the age of 30 no matter how socially acceptable that is, I just don't want to. He says "I never said about 30". And I say "But you said 28, and that's too far for me. I can only go up to 27". So then I asked what he thinks about it (of course it was all in emotions and stuff, it wasn't calm at all, as soon as I touched the topic he got all angry and irritable and in defense mode) and he told me he doesn't know when he wants to have kids, he's not thinking about it right now and that I shouldn't worry because he's still with me, that means he loves me and that means he wants to have a family with me but he doesn't know when and me choking the answer out of him won't help me.
So I'm like "great, he doesn't even get what I tell him. His stupid male brain doesn't follow." I'm not asking of him to give me a specific date "honey, 25th March 2018, we can start trying" dog damn it you effing idiot, no! I'm asking what age he thinks he'd be more comfortable with the idea of trying. And he fucking doesn't know, or doesn't understand what I mean. The point is, there's no dialogue with him on that.
I'll turn 24 pretty soon, and that's shit close to 25, that's why I'm growing impatient. Because if you think logically: we want to have our own place first before we start trying. And we're pretty far from that, at least a year of saving, if not two. So I'm already 26 by then. Then we won't necessarily find a place fast, so let's say another 6 months. And then he would like to just live the to of us and be happy with the less stress-angry me. So yeah, 28 it is. That's far too close to 30 than I want.
In a nutshell: He says he wants kids with me someday. My question is when the someday is or what does someday mean to him, as I want to work out some compromise. And he has no answer for me. I just don't know if I can take the wait. Not that I want to break up, because I don't. I love this finished idiot, this !@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@!@#$% and I want kids with him, even as far as lately I've been focusing on his flaws only (I'm starting to think I'm retarded by being with him).

Oh mem, you must be really sad and angry about it, I can feel it through the internet :D

First of all:
*puts down another boy of kittens, dogs and bunnies*
*gives mem a hot chocolate and a blanket and puts her on the sofa*
*makes mem cuddle the animals*

Okay.
Now that we have a comfy situation:
May I first ask why you want children before 28? Or the best: at 25?
I have to admit I see both points.
Your boyfriend feels a little pushed by you probably, talking about getting children even before you have a home for you two only and before you can be sure you can afford them. And with his fears he probably fears having children in general because he seems to think that you two are not mature enough and cannot live up to the responsibility children are.
´
But I also see your point. It's better to have children for women as early as possible (risks etc.). And why is it so hard for him to even think about it when he wants to start considering getting pregnant? It would be enough for you now if he said "honey, let's say when we're 26, but can we talk it out when we have our own place?"
I think it is very unfair of him to say that he has to raise the child AND YOU and that he would leave and never come back. wow, boy, every woman loves to hear those sentences.

*gives your boyfriend a box of brains and sensitivity*

Couldn't had said it better myself than LittleJulez did.

I think you both need to talk about it in a more calm and open-minded way. You might have gotten him by surprise with a sudden children talk and you know how guys are when they first hear about children, so maybe give yourself and him some time to think about it and then just discuss about it in a logic way with no angry feelings, or any feelings for that matter, getting in the way.
