That’s going to be one hell of an awkward conversation when the child starts asking questions like: “Mum, where do babies come from?”

I think everyone is overreacting to the situation surrounding the infertile guy. Her quote isn’t “He couldn’t give me what I wanted to I left to find it” she said she wasn’t equipped to take care of him after his emotional breakdown. It’s not like she left him at the alter or anything. Maybe she literally couldn’t take care of him? Being around a depressed/broken down person is exhausting enough when you DO Love the person, who’s to say she didn’t love the guy (remember, only dating 6 months) and his needs surpassed her ability to care for him and she just said “you know what? This is enough.”

That being said, I wouldn’t classify this as a “love story”. Maybe if they were married for a number of years and this was a retrospective of the couple, but for right now they’re just fuck buddies who are making it work…for now.
