You've been there. You met a dream girl. It was love at first sight. You got her number and a date right away. Sex happened soon and was magical and got better and better. You crossed the 3 month mark with flying colors. You thought your lonely days were over.
Then one day it happened. Something wasn't right. You felt it in your gut. You hoped for once your gut was wrong but it's never wrong. If you were weaker you asked "What's wrong, honey?" and she answered "Nothing!". But something was wrong. She stopped producing enough Oxytocin to be under your spell, and now she was "coming to". You were going from Superman back to Clark Kent in her eyes. Suddenly she adjusted your glasses and frowned.
Why did this occur? Did you forget to floss? Did you snore last night? No, this was her Biological Stopwatch going off. Think about it: if you had met during ancient times and started having sex for 6 months, after that much time she should have been pregnant. If she wasn't she needed to pull away and sleep with another mate. And she wouldn't just dump you, she would pull away in a manner that drove you (if you were weak especially) crazy and she would draw you into her circle of beta orbiters. This also had a biological imperative - for her having backups that thought the kids might be hers increased her kids chances of survival.
Are we as men expecting the impossible? Does wanting a girl who loves us but doesn't have kids over the long term ever really work, even if she doesn't think she wants kids?
In any event, we shouldn't take it personally when this happens. It always happens. Or worse, you marry her. Remember that this scenario is close to best-case scenario, unless you wanted kids with a flake.
