Woman Breaks Off Engagement After Fiancé Repeatedly Asks When She Will 'Give Him a Baby'

A woman says she's called off her engagement after her fiancé repeatedly asked her when she was going to "give him a baby."

In a post shared to Reddit, she writes that she and the man had been "together for 2 years, and engaged for six months."

"We've both wanted kids at some point, but never set a specific timeline," she adds.

"Lately though, he's been making comments about how I'll 'give him a baby' once we're married," she continues. "The first time I let it go but when he said it another time I joked back 'So that's my job now?' and he just said, 'Yeah, you're the one making it.' "

When the woman told her fiancé she didn't like the way he was "wording" them getting pregnant, "he rolled his eyes and said I was overthinking it."

"But he said it like that a couple more times later. I started to feel less excited about starting a family," she adds.

After she continued to tell him the comment made her uncomfortable, "he laughed and said 'It's not that deep, that's just how it works.' And in that moment, I was starting to feel done."

"So I called off the engagement," she writes. "He said I was being ridiculous over 'a poor choice of words.' His family got involved and is telling me that I misunderstood him and that he just meant he was excited to start a family with me."

Now, the woman is questioning whether she overreacted.

One Reddit user advises: "Trust your gut. it may have been a poor choice of words, but you know him well enough to know if it wasn't."

Another suggests that the issue was about more than a poor choice of words, writing: "He's shown he doesn't care if something bothers her, who would marry that?"
