Once my oldest friend decided, at 33, to have a baby with a man she was not really committed to. She was simply ready to have children. I thought it was a terrible idea. Then they had another(She liked how the first one turned out) and split up. It was the perfect thing to have done. I was completely wrong, and happy to have been. Life was not easy, but they are all wonderful people.It just didn’t make sense at the time, from the outside.

Upon first reading, I thought you'd written "HAS girlfriend for seven years," but it was "HIS girlfriend for seven years." That sent me back for review! Either way, people are very comfortable answering your relationship questions! They know you're interested.
