[fruitless]

I know this is a tough question, that many don't want to answer honestly, but at what point in your dating careers, did you just, say, 'the next guy who likes me, gets me--(who's halfway decent!)??? With fertility, it seems settling is the necessary component, before women can have their true fulfillment.

When you hear all the divorce stories, and bad marriages, I find it hard to believe everyone really didn't know it wasn't going to get better while they were dating or living together. They just hated dating, being alone, or gave up the 'perfect' marriage/man theme. Of course there are those, who will say they didn't settle and they love their husband. I say, you are truly the luckiest people alive.

I am at the point where I need to make that decision. It seems, I either stay alone, (possibly forever) and keep looking for the guy who I can't keep my hands off of (while relinquishing my ability to try and have my own child)... or take a total dweeb, no one wants and rush to fertility. I wish it could sound better. But, it's either one or the other. My middle ground has disappeared.

Eager to hear your thoughts.
