Regretful Parents: "My Girlfriend Gave Me An Ultimatum" | Reddit Stories

Welcome back to the Regretful Parents series. This week, Erika and Kristen read and react to a post from the Regretful Parents subreddit titled “Feel Like I’ve Ruined My Life.” Spoiler alert: he kind of has. A 29-year-old man agrees to an ultimatum — have a baby before 30 or never — and now finds himself exhausted, resentful, intimacy-deprived, and being pressured for more kids he absolutely does not want. The hosts break down the red flags, the insanity of reproductive ultimatums, and why choosing hypothetical future children over your actual partner is… deeply unwell behavior. Along the way, they discover one of the smartest parenting arrangements they’ve ever seen, question why people keep doing this to themselves, and remind everyone (once again) that ultimatums are not love.

Topics include:
  • Reproductive ultimatums 🚩
  • Regret after agreeing to parenthood
  • Why “one and done” is a complete sentence
  • A surprisingly genius split-parenting strategy
  • And yet another reminder to PLEASE use your brain
