Life tends to suck if you let it. An illustrated journal about the way I've totally screwed up my life and (hopefully) how I'm going to get myself out of it.

hi, im going to need your email to send you the permission to post to 52 prompts, looking forward to hearing back from you
I don't think you should have to pay...I mean even if everyone does assume you'll be together, you're not engaged yet so it should be his body (or bodily fluids) and so his responsibility to pay until there's a definate knot to be tied. Especially where you have some reservations (agree w/ the santa thing). I mean you can always pay into it once you possibly get hitched, but until then, i don't think it's your responsibility.
you probably don't need my unwarranted opinion, but it seems like you needed support in that way...

p.s. yay for submitting everything!!!
You have to pay to do something otherwise free? Have him do it in a coffee mug and throw it in the freezer with some saran wrap to cover it up.
That's difficult, Serena. I suggest you tell him to forget the donation on account of the cost to his cousin and aunt. In the future, if you decide to have children, there may be other ways such as adoption. Right now, you are not sure you want to be with him for the rest of your life, and perhaps having him go through with it will send the wrong message.
In addition to Shan's comment, with which I agree, your boyfriend should be doing this for himself, not for you. Because if he does want to have children of his own someday and it might not necessarily be with you, it will be with some other woman then. And you shouldn't have to pay for it if that's the case. Can't he put it on his Visa or something? And if he doesn't have a credit card, maybe get moving on that?
I'd discuss your concerns with him. Nothing that you are feeling is unreasonable - and that is what relationships are all about - honesty.
What they said.
Wow, this is a weighty topic. Here's what fascinates me about it though: doesn't your boyfriend read your blog?
p.s. i agree with csmc - you guys should have a serious, difficult conversation about it...before you spend thousands of dollars
ha! no he doesnt, nor does he know it exists.
if he did, would i be able to write any of this? the answer would be no.
also, follow up post coming soon. you have been forwarned.
Ooh, secret blog, I like it. I feel like I'm part of a covert operation now...
