Re: What should I watch (or read)

As another person who very much doesn't want kids, I agree with this. I mean, if they talked about it up front and OP stated that she definitely didn't want to ever have primary custody and residency of her child ever again, then I can see how that would be really frustrating for OP's partner. But I doubt OP ever made such a definite statement, because I doubt there are many parents who would make such a definite statement about the future of their relationship with their child.

So I'm much more inclined to side-eye the OP's girlfriend. I may not want kids, but I still understand that when someone has a child, you automatically expect that relationship to come first, regardless of the circumstances. I'm not saying "you have to put your child first ALWAYS or you're a bad person." But if you're in a relationship with a person who has a child, you should be aware that their relationship with their child may well supersede their relationship with you, and you have no business getting butthurt about that; it's just the way it goes.

The only question I have for OP is whether there's any chance her GF is merely concerned that OP won't be up to the challenge of full-residency parenthood. It doesn't sound like that's what her GF's issue with it is. But if that were the issue, then I think the GF's reservations would be much more understandable. If the GF's issue is just with not wanting a child around full-time, then I'd say yeah, I think it's probably better if this is the end of the line for you guys.
