One of my best friends was dumped by her boyfriend on Wednesday. They had been dating for a little over half a year and it was starting to feel like a permanent relationship.
They seemed like a great match. Except their view on kids…. the deal breaker.
She was dating Peter Pan and didn’t know it. I have been there, done that. I dated Peter Pan for seven years before ending it. I met my soon-to-be husband just after breaking it off with my version of Peter Pan. I don’t know why it took me so long to see that my Peter Pan never wanted to “play house with me” as he so kindly put it. (Yes, those exact words.)
My friend’s Peter Pan drew the line at kids. He seemed to be OK with the thought of living together since they had been doing so for the past several months, but the second she mentioned kids – he called it off.
I told my soon-to-be husband that I wanted to be married with kids in the next five years on our third date… with the help of some liquid courage. I figured I had just wasted seven years and I wasn’t about to do it again. If he was apprehensive about a family, I was out of there. Probably a bit aggressive, but that was my mind frame at the time.
My friend has wanted to be a mom for as long as I have known her… I hope she finds her soon-to-be husband next.
Anyone else date Peter Pan and not know it???
I guess I have never heard that term in regards to dating. I don't date much. I sometimes think this is why I have a hard time getting back into the dating game...I think some men are scared off by my kids. Oh well, their loss not mine.
