Is There Really Only One Person For You?

gk

I prefer to live as "there is only one person for me while we are in a committed relationship." All women are beautiful, and attractive; in their own individual ways. I have"fallen in love" with women of different nationalities; become engaged to two; married two (legitimately); had one child within each marriage. Until aged mid-twenties, I really was not sufficiently matured to sustain a very long-term relationship. I always believed that parenting was best reserved for persons who had first discovered / come to terms with themselves; their quirks and frailties. My son was born when I was 37 years of age, and he benefits from having parents who really are "grown ups." It also helps to have a stable, established relationship, a career, some degree of financial stability: before adding children to the equation. Coping with sleep deprivation for the first two years is often a drain on the best adult relationships, so I strongly recommend 'family planning.' I advocate genetic screening / amnioscentesis at week 12-13 of pregnancy; because there is no logical reason to carry an early-disadvantaged fetus to term. There are very real financial and resource constraints involved with bringing up and supporting lesser-abled citizens. If it is a sentimental / religious luxury you can afford; by all means give that growing clump of human cells a chance at independent life, but do not expect any public funds to indulge your private hopes and dreams ! Take care out there ! ! !
