He can't give me a baby...so I don't want to help him with his

Redgreenandgold12's picture

Im just going to get to the point.. I am with a really good man. He just propsed to me 2 weeks ago in front of our friends.. We both share Valentine's Day as a birthday. He takes good care of me overall and I do to him as well..

Now that I have that out the way. He has a 7 year old daughter and i have a 16 yr old.. I had my daughter when i was 16 and the father never stayed around. Me and my fiance (have to get used to saying that) have been together for 3 years and I almost obsessed with having a baby. It consumes me to the point of me imagining daily of different things o would be doing if the baby was around... He wants a baby also with me but the problem is that he isnt ejaculating anymore.. And it dosent stay up the entire session then it he wouanythinh lame it on a cramp.. 

I played along for awhile until it started really affecting my self esteem cause as a woman naturally first I'm going to blame myself..he eventually says its because of porn why he is not able to. . that made it worse for me ...

He says he stopped and he is taking some natural meds that ia supposed to help with his drive and keeping it up.....IT NOT WORKING!!!!!! I know he takes it I see him do it.. He even asks me for them.. 

Now as far as his daughter I do not want to have anything with her she just represents what he cant give me and gave to that woman who doea not deserve to have him as a father to her child. She is mean and takes advantage of him. And he allows it so she dosent stop him from seeing his princess.

Then i have to watch him dote over her i get so jealous watching it.. I cringe when she even calls his name..daaaaddy.. Uggghh... The other night we had friends over and they all have smaller kids and started talking about parenting and he said "we" meaning him and the mother before telling his story and I wanted to scream like we will never be us.. I actuallt pretended to use the bathroom while he told his story about his princess.

The mother did not well prob still does not like me only reason we came up with was that little girl says nice things about me cause of course I had to make her like me so it dosent look a way in front of him but i mostly just greet her with excitement and high pitch voice.. Hiiiii how arrrree yoooou.. You look cuuuute.. And then I go in my room. Sometimes i will engage more like ..do.you want to color? And then do it for a few minutes again not because i want to.

And then she looks like her mom so that don't help.. At one point i tried to bond with her and did her hair every weekend because the mother used to send her over looking crazy but all of a sudden she started sending her over in her best outfit and hair combed ..so I said well i know what she is trying to say "dont touch my child.. I got it" nooooo problem... 

He spends a lot of time with her and ia a great dad and its not fair that i have to watch it and not getting an opportunity to have that. I am so resentful towards him and so jealous of the little girl and the mother that they have him in a way that I dont see happening for me..

She is just a kid but I just cant help looking at her and getting so filled with jealousy. I finally have a man that I adore and I cant have him fully as a husband and a father to MY CHILD... He wants us to do things together but my daughter is again 16 and ita hard to do things a 7 year old and 16 yr old enjoy together so she usually declines.. Its like he wants to make me her temp mother cause he isnt getting to do things with his daughters mom and maybe wants to expereience family time.. I get it .. I feel bad.. But again I DONT.. Give me a baby and you will expereience it..  I'm not here for a fill in her mother is not a crackhead and can do things with her she does not need me to fill the gap of a mother... When she is over that is his time not ours.  I did NOT push her out its not my job to entertain her.do 

It consumes me so much. He is on the way to get her now and i got so dissapointed when he told me cause now I am going to transfer myself in the room i was comfortable in the living room but I just cannot cause when she comes that's her place and God forbid she does not get to watch what she wants to watch. 

I am a woman and my maternal feelings are in overdrive and my hormones are going crazy wanting to be a new mommy again and its just not fair that he expects me to participate with his child.. And all i get are a few pumps. And this digusting piece of a flesh got a baby. He tells me they barely had sex and it was never planned... So what she still has it.. Give me an accident baby.. 

I suggested he go to the doctor cause him being so manly its the last thing he wants to do but f that he needa to make a decision QUICK... 

I am trying so hard to except that I just may nevee have another child when i do I cry like I mourning a baby that never existed.. Its so stupid...its so bad that I think i need to go see a therapist so i can learn to like the this little girl anz come to terms of what i will never have and maybe just get a dog

And now here come the tears...

He's going to some extreme gaslighting for you.  "Natural meds" for this problem?  They are probably making it worse.  He needs to see a doctor.  Guys who can't keep it up usually have some kind of blood flow issue, maybe heart related.  I don't care how " wonderful" he is.  Put your foot down and make his see a doctor and make sure you go with and show the doctor those magical pills that are NOT working.  I'd also reccommend you think twice about being with a man who can't give you a sex life, let alone a kid.  Do you really want to be married to man who can't perform and won't see a doctor about it?  If he won't for that, what else won't he do in the name of being a macho man???  Life's too short to go without IMO. That is without a man who takes care of business to keep me happy and our marriage strong.

It sounds like there is a lot of resentment built up. Are you sure this is the right relationship for you?

and as lovely as you see this man, it’s becoming a major dealbreaker that he can’t maintain and erection and ejaculate and if he won’t seek professional medical help then you have a choice to make whether you are willing to stay in this relationship.

there are people who divorce and seperate over this because having a biological child together is a big deal or woman wasn’t notified of the erection/ejaculation issues if they weren’t having sex before marriage

for me even with my and hubbys age gap, i would never have considered marrying him if he was firmly against having kids because that’s something i wanted

natural meds don’t work as well as professional medical treatment. My husband is in his 50s, no erection or ejaculation issues here. How old is this guy by the way?

i’m concerned more that he can’t ejaculate anything. If he is maturbating and watching heeps of porn then him not getting an errction could just be due to his longer refractionary period in between ejaculating to when he can get erect again and in older men, it can take them 12-24 hours almost before they can get hard again

He is 45 and he is now wilking to see a doctor..thank God

Tge deal breakwr part I get but then I say to myself suppose I couldn't have kids and he wanted I wouodnt want him to leave me ..but I feel very strongly about this baby thing... I have to also say last week he did ejaculate once and I was like is it really happening.. I laud there with my feet up like a jackass thinking this may just be the last one i see for awhile ...so sad

But like i said he is now willing to see a Dr so i will making the appointment once this corona thing is over

As overwhelming as your hormonal baby drive is, if your DH has a fertility or other related problem then you have a choice to make.  Porn is a bullshit excuse.  But I do understand his challenges when it comes to ejaculation during intercourse.  Probably more than anyone cares to hear, but I have always had extreme sexual endurance. Now in my mid 50s I can go even longer and reaching orgasm is rare for me before my DW needs to stop after several orgasms of her own.  I'm not bragging. It just is what it is.   Everything works just fine it is just that sensitivity is not what it used to be.  

If you both want a baby that badly then DH is going to have to go see a real doctor rather than some herbalist naturopathic whack job.  If he can get off while watching porn, he can make a deposit at a fertility clinic and the two of you can go the invitro or other insemination route.

I will add that anyone who would end a marriage with a good person over failure to fertilize an ovum is not worth being in a relationship with.

If you cannot rationally overcome your raging hormonally driven irrationality over all of this give your SO's life back to him so he can be with a person who is worth his time and on par with his personal quality and you can go on a sperm hunt to fulfill your need to spawn again. All a sperm takes is a functional set of genitalia.  There is no need for the owner of those functional gonads to be worth a shit.

Grow up.  Either be all in with this relationship or be of adequate character to leave.

And if your DH won't deal with his Porn problem, he is not worth keeping and definitely not of sufficient character to select as a father of a child.  Protect the sanctity of your gene pool until he either demonstrates that he is worthy of fathering your next child or you find someone who can at the very least get the job done.  Preferably get the job done and be a quality partner to you and a great father for your next child.

Just my thoughts of course.

I appreciate your honesty..  Ouch but really thanks

I get this. I get this so much. DH had a vasectomy for his ex wife, 2 previous children, I have no kids, DH had a vasectomy-reversal for me, BUT it's been almost a year and a half and still no baby. I hate it. So much resentment towards DH for having kids with two pieces of shit women but not being able to with me. It hurts. All I want is a baby of my own and I'm so sick of watching DH be a dad to his ex-hoes kids.

Marriage is about compromise. 

I have certain things in a partner I would end a relationship for. That does not mean that we need to always agree . I'm pretty liberal and while he isn't right wing he can say some crap that pisses me off ( he is not racist but is a Jewish immagrant with some ideology I don't agree with sometimes)

Is a baby worth ending this relationship? That's what it boils down to

I get the same maternal thoughts Everytime BM makes a mistake. So does DH. He's Beginning to want something that's ours but it's an urge not a need. With the economy going nuts having a baby is the last thought in my mind. 

Take care of yourself and your daughter. Create clear boundaries with your DH. Is this imginary baby worth the relationship?

 At this point im just going to get a dog

Look, just because he asked you to marry him doesn't mean that you have to say "yes". That was your chance to say "only if you see a doctor first". However, he was sneaky and asked you in front of friends knowing that you woiuldn't say anything of the sort.

This is truly time for him to see a doctor. He isn't ejaculating? Has he ever heard of retrograde ejaculation? And if he can't keep an erection, maybe he needs his testosterone (especially his free testosterone) testing. Both conditions are treatable. He needs to make an appointment with a urologist today if he doesn't want to lose you. Frankly, at your age, the prospect of a miserable sex life must be pretty grim...

Do NOT marry this guy until he has seen a doctor and followed whatever treatment is prescribed. For your own sake, please also see a therapist to help you work through all of this resentment.

Please don't marry this guy - both of you are too consumed with your own needs to make any kind of partnership. And your hatred of his daughter for existing is not healthy and won't lead to a healthy marriage.

Honestly, I find it selfish when women insist they have to have a BABY NOW and justify it as a reasonable thing. If you didn't have a child already, I could see your urgency, but you do.  If you want another baby, go to a sperm bank and find a willing father there, because your fiance doesn't want to be one.  So either you are going to resent him or he is going to resent you, but either way, your relationship is doomed.

OP, if you want a baby you want a baby. It is NOT selfish unless you cannot afford it and/or cannot take care of that child for some reason.

I was in a crappy marriage with my ex-H and had 2 healthy, beautiful kids, a boy and a girl but knew there was someone else out there who was meant to be. Ex-H did not want any more kids. I insisted (I never lied). Well, my youngest DD is now 15. When she was born, it was like I knew her, I can't explain it. She is such a joy and I cannot imagine life without her. Ex-H and I were going to end up divorced no matter what. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE, along with 1) divorcing ex-H; 2) Marrying DH. (and of course having my other two kids, but that was not really a decision but a given).

Sorry but if he cannot or will not give you a child, there's your answer. And his daughter is not a substitute - I'd feel exactly as you do towards her.

You are so right

Before you go one more step down this relationship road... he needs to see a urologist.  This is not only for the sake of your relationship.. and the baby making stuff.. but he could be having prostate issues that might be cancer etc... he does not need to put this off and obviously his own natural med attempts are not improving the situation.

This likely has little to do with you.. but more with his mechanical abilities.  Now.. this does not mean that you won't get that baby you want.. but you both need to go through the proper testing and evaluations.  Do you really want to prioritize a baby over your husband to be's current health problems?

He needs to pull his head out of the sand and you need to go to a real doctor for some real medical evaluations.

Knowing what this means to you.. he needs to get this sorted out... in addition.. you need to get your own fertility review.. because what worked at 16... may not now... don't assume.

If you find that he cannot have a child with you.. via his own dna.. would you and he be open to using a donor?  these are things you need to be able to work out between you now.. the fact that you both share valentine's day as your birthdays is not a sign you are meant to be together.

You made all valid points.. He has finally agreed to see a doctor
