my heart broke when he told me his biggest fear. EDIT💗
I've been with my fiancé for six and a half years and we've been engaged since march 3rd (yayyyy). ☺️
We're looking at getting married in October of 2018, and he has said out right he wants children soon after.
He's even expressed he almost doesn't want to wait for either (but we want to, life has been throwing us curveballs lately so one step at a time is best) because he really wanted to married at this age, he's 23. When we get married he'll be almost 25, and then depending on when we get pregnant possibly almost 26.
But with the way life has come at us, I'm glad we weren't engaged before and planning a wedding in this chaos.
Anyway, we've been just casually talking about babies and names and stuff. I don't remember what led to it but he said, "god, please don't let us struggle"
I looked at him, and I just.. melted. With grief, worry, and endearment because he wants us to have a baby so bad.
The thing is, when he was born one testicle wasn't dropped, or dead, I'm not sure. He doesn't talk too much about it and I don't want to pry open old wounds.
With him having one, he's so worried about his sperm being too low or dead. He doesn't want to go to the doctor yet because if he can't conceive, he wants to wait to have his heart broken... he said he wants to just try for a while when we're ready and see what happens.
"I'm so scared I won't be able to give you children. Or that we're perfectly fine and we just can't get it right. I want nothing more in life than to have your children. It keeps me up at night sometimes.."
YALL 😭😭😭
I've looked everywhere, and it's hit and miss to research if a man with one testicle can reproduce.
EDIT: WOW! Thank you guys SO MUCH! For all the amazing comments of it is possible and it'll be okay if it isn't.
I know it's hard to scroll through all the comments, but a lot of you have been saying he could just have one hidden. That's not the case, he only has one. He had a surgery shortly after birth (6 months old, I thought it was three days, but that was a stomach surgery) to have the dead/not descended one removed. He's only had one his entire life and does not want to get checked to save himself the heart break. Again, thank you all so much for your uplifting comments about it being possible, and even congratulating us and telling me not to worry and ruin our "newly engaged excitement". I've never felt more love from this community. 💗💗💗
