I’m a 36M. My fiancé who I love deeply is recovering after beating cancer last year (for the second time). She is doing well generally but has some ongoing moderate health issues that requires monitoring and treatment. I’ve always dreamt of having kids but it may not be in the cards for us, given that she is no longer fertile or able to carry children. Surrogacy is an option with donor eggs but may not be something we do. For whatever reason I do not have a pull to adopt. The last year has had a huge emotional toll on me, specifically on accepting that my life may be very different. Seeing all my friends have kids and building a stable happy family, etc. We were talking about marriage and having kids 2 years ago when the cancer hit. For those in a similar situation, or never had kids when you wanted to, how did you deal with it / accept this reality? submitted by /u/No-Fortune-1680
