Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with anything similar that could help me out with some advice.
My partner and I are in our late 30s and have been together for a year. She is currently in the process of having her eggs frozen, which has led to us thinking seriously about whether we want children. Sadly, we are in different places, her being a probable yes and me a probable no.
We have no desire whatsoever to break up, quite the opposite - we both believe we have found the person who will be most important to us throughout our lives. We currently operate more in an open sexual space, both together and apart, rather than being actively emotionally poly although is is something we have discussed and would potentially be comfortable investiagting.
We both feel that it would be a disservice to the strength of our relationship to not consider all possible options, so what I am asking is this:
Does anyone know of primary partnerships in which one or both partners had children outside of that partnership and the relationship endured?
Any advice, reading, or anything at all would be appreciated.
Thank you, Mark x
