Hey there, HotTakers, it’s your favorite digital confidant, Roger, back at it again with a story that’s a cocktail of emotion, big life decisions, and that not-so-sweet aftertaste of resentment. This isn’t just any old tale; this is a real-life saga from a real person just like you and me, plucked straight from the tangled web of human experience known as Reddit. So, buckle up—we’re diving deep into one woman’s heart-rendering journey alongside her boyfriend, where choices were made, tears were shed, and resentment brewed like a storm on the horizon.
Imagine, if you will, being in a relationship that’s been more off than on for the last five years. You’re young, in love, and life’s throwing curveballs faster than you can dodge them. That’s the story of our protagonist, a 25-year-old woman who, against all odds, discovered she could indeed embark on the journey of motherhood, despite previous medical advice to the contrary. Talk about an emotional U-turn, right? This bombshell dropped shortly after rekindling a flame with her 30-year-old beau, igniting dreams of little feet pattering around and a future filled with family. But, as the plot thickens, her partner’s reaction—or should I say, lack thereof—turns the dream into a waking nightmare.
He’s not on board. Not even close. And, sweet readers, here’s where our tale veers into the heart of darkness. Our heroine is faced with a soul-crushing choice that eventually leads her down a path paved with pain, abandonment, and a buffet of resentment towards her partner. Picture this: coming out of a procedure that left her world shattered, only to be left alone, in pain, in his house, without even the basic comforts. No food, no support, nada. And where was he, you ask? Oh, just hitting the slopes, snowboarding away his troubles while she’s left navigating a tsunami of emotions solo.
And now, dear readers, after all the dust has settled, the remorse has made its grand entrance. Too little, too late, it seems, as our protagonist can’t shake off the mantle of anger and resentment she’s now wearing. Every glance, every touch, every shared silence thick with unsaid words, serves as a reminder of a choice made and a future altered. She’s asking the million-dollar question: “What do I do?” Do you walk away from someone who left you so devastatingly alone in your darkest hour, or do you give time a chance to heal wounds that feel as fresh as ever?
Here’s **Roger’s Hot Take**: Darling, life’s a journey filled with tough choices, and we often find ourselves standing at crossroads, unsure of which path to take. However, one thing’s for sure—you never, I repeat, *never*, deserve to feel alone, especially not from someone who’s supposed to be your partner in crime, your confidant, your rock. The foundation of any relationship is support, communication, and love—without these, you’re building on quicksand.
So, to our brave soul sharing her story, and to anyone else out there in a similar boat—listen to your heart, value your own well-being, and know that it’s okay to put yourself first. Sometimes, giving it time means giving yourself the space to heal, reflect, and grow. And, if that path leads you away from the source of your pain, then so be it. Life’s too short for regrets and too beautiful to live in resentment.
Remember, HotTakers, it’s not about finding the right answers but asking the right questions. Until the next emotional rollercoaster—stay sassy, stay savvy, and stay sensational. Over and out—Roger.
Original story
I F25 and my boyfriend M30 we’ve been off and on for about five years, nothing bad that broke us up just distance and we both aren’t good with calling and texting. We recently moved back into the same town unexpectedly and have started dating again. We’ve been together this time for about 4 months.
We had both talked about never having children, mostly because I couldn’t physically do so after an abdominal surgery. But I had always said how much I’d like to be someday.
Someday came sooner than I expected.
I found out I was pregnant. We had literally had sex once since we had gotten back together and boom baby town.
Because I wasn’t able to carry to full term without complications, or so I thought, I went to my primary doctor and she informed me that my previous doctor was mistaken, and I was able to carry full term with very minor if any complications.
I was ELATED! I’d wanted to be a mom since I was a kid, I am the oldest of all my siblings and truly enjoyed taking care of them… but I put it out of my mind because I thought it wasn’t possible.
I told my boyfriend then about the pregnancy and about the truly real possibility that we could be parents.
He did not have the same reaction, he didn’t smile, he wasn’t excited…. He wanted to get the abortion… and I was so devastated.
I told him that I wouldn’t want to do this without him involved because it wouldn’t be fair to the child to not be wanted by a a parent. He decided he did not want to be a parent, so we went through with the procedure.
Afterwards, in the weeks following, he was not there for me. I was sitting in HIS house without any food because he didn’t bother to go shopping. I had no way of going back to my house because he convinced me to leave my car at my place for the duration and that he would be there if I needed anything.
He decided to just go snowboarding, and was gone for 4 hours after he told me he would be home.
I was sitting in pain, crying, devastated and he was just not there.
I resent him for that choice, for his decision. I resent myself for not thinking I could do it alone. And I resent myself for going through with it, for believing that he would be there for me afterwards.
Now he wants to say that he regrets the decision he made and the choices after but I can’t seem to get over it.
Everyone I’m around him I just get mad, and resentful and I just don’t know if I can ever look at him the same or be around him without feeling anger.
What do I do ? Do I leave him? Do I just give it time ? I’m lost and angry.
