• i want to be single.
  

  thats a good point, but on the same token, i dont want to spend the rest of my life wondering what might have been, either.

• i want to be single.
  

  That is exactly the advice I need, littlenick. I honestly miss ’sowing my wild oats,’ as you say. I guess my followup is how to do it with the least amount of pain for my current counterpart. I think my real problem is that ive never broken up with anyone before, and I have no idea how to do it. And now that Im so far in, I feel like im being unfair wanting to jump ship.

• Hey, Im not really sure where to start.
  

  Short answer: No.
  
  Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOO.
  
  If youre getting married anyway, why rush it? You have a good 20-25 years of fertility left to worry about all that. You say you can afford to have a baby, but is that only with the three jobs? Do you want to be doing that the rest of your life? Im 22, and babies are the farthest thing from my mind. Though we’re technically adults, we’re far from full fledged grown ups; theres A LOT to learn about the world, and a mere 20 years isnt enough to do it. I know that being in love makes things like babies look rosy and sound romantic, but theres a lot more to it than that. With any decent parent, your child always comes first, always. Thats a lot to ask of us twenty-somethings, who still havent quite figured out who we are yet.
  
  Also, as impossible as it might seem now, divorce happens. It happens a lot in fact. Make sure you make good life partners before you add and innocent, helpless infant to the mix. Imagine the worst case scenario for your relationship, and then imagine dragging your child (who has had no choice in the matter) through it with you.Once you know (through living together and loving it for at least a few years) that you are honestly compatible as a married couple, by all means have as many babies as you want. More people deserve a great start with two capable, loving parents who are also irrevocably in love with each other.
  
  
  Best wishes,
