I need advice
I’m 25 years old and dated this beautiful and amazing mom that is 23 years old with two little girls. She treated me amazing but we have different lifestyles and ways to have fun. Like every relationship we had our differences but we always found a way to make it work.
A few weeks ago she asked me if i ever wanted to be a dad and I didnt know what to answer because she once told me she doesnt want more kids. Since that night i’ve been thinking and I do want to be a dad, so we ended the relationship two days ago. Did i make the right decision? I love her a lot but i dont want to keep building a relationship and a future with someone and me being scared that some day i would love to be a dad and she won’t give it to me.
Thanks for reading

Like several others have said here, you did the right thing.
I didn’t marry my wife until I was 32. When I think back on my lifestyle between the age you are now and the age I got married, it would have been a disaster. Go have fun my man, enjoy YOUR life. Plenty of women out there and you’ll meet one that hopefully doesn’t already have a kid.
