(Anonymous) 2016-09-06 12:08 am (UTC)(link)While I don't have quite the same overwhelming reaction to m/f romance in general, I understand it. Because so much of the time, in media romances and in ongoing fanfic, it seems inevitable that the only way a het couple can truly be "perfect" together (according to societal norms) is to have babies. It's not enough for them to be happily in love with each other. Oh no, their relationship is not complete until a baby enters the equation! (I'm even seeing it in one of my current fandoms, where a 48 year old woman who already has a canon foster/adopted child is now in a long term relationship with a man. Suddenly the fanfic stories for their ship are all over the place about her having a miracle baby with him, or easily conceiving with IVF and I just want to bang my fist thru a wall. Yes, it CAN happen. But is it likely and is it at all in character for her? Absolutely not!)
All I can say is I hope it gets better for you with time - that either you end up coming to terms with being happily childfree/childless or are able to build a family through alternative means. And I also get that people who haven't been in that situation themselves have no clue what it's like, so sadly don't expect them to understand.
