AITA for telling my fiancée having a child together is still a deal breaker for me and I would leave if that was no longer an option?

In the quiet moments of a blossoming love, a man embraced not only his fiancée but also the memory of a lost love and the child left behind.

Their relationship was a delicate tapestry woven with understanding, hope, and dreams of a future filled with more children, laughter, and shared joy.

Yet, beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect life, unspoken fears and family whispers began to cast shadows on their path forward.

When overheard words from a conversation between his fiancée and her mother hinted at unexpected expectations and unresolved tensions, the man found himself at a crossroads.

The promise of a new beginning now tangled with the weight of past grief and the complexities of blended lives, challenging the very foundation of their love and the future they had dared to imagine together.

Users Wasted No Time Telling It Like It Is:

Users didn’t stay quiet — they showed up in full force, mixing support with sharp criticism. From calling out bad behavior to offering real talk, the comments lit up fast.

The core conflict revolves around a fundamental, pre-existing agreement regarding having biological children, which the fiancée unilaterally rescinded after the engagement.

The fiancé is holding firm to his es**blished dealbreaker, creating a crisis in the relationship where his commitment to his future family vision clashes directly with the fiancée's revised desire to maintain the current family structure without adding more children.

If the desire for biological children remains a non-negotiable aspect of the fiancé's life plan, is it fair to expect him to sacrifice this foundational desire for the sake of a relationship that started with a different understanding, or should the fiancée accept the consequences of changing a key term of their commitment after the engagement?
