Having a baby on your own vs settling for Mr. OK-but-Not-Perfect
On my older blog, I shared a story about a woman who got tired of waiting to meet Mr. Right and instead chose to become a single-mother-by-choice through donor insemination. Hers was an especially happy story, because not only did she have a wonderful baby, she later wound up meeting a man, getting married and having another child with him.
I recently came across an article that tells a different story of another woman who also decided to become a single-mother-by-choice rather than settle for any of the guys she dated, because none of them were quite perfect enough. In her article, she openly wonders if she might have been better off just "settling".
I sent this article to a lot of my single friends, and not to any surprise, most of them disagreed with it (as did I). It’s still a consensus that no matter how strong of an argument is presented for people not to be so picky, there will still be a strong resistance to stubbornly hold out for Mr. Right. By the way, for one of my friends, she liked the article because it made her more appreciative of her current boyfriend, who although not everything she always dreamed, is a very solid guy. She’s going to give the relationship every chance to work, instead of restlessly looking for something "better".
So for all you married women undergoing fertility treatment, be thankful that you have at least found the man of your dreams father of your future baby
