Input: I know the answer to this may seem obvious to some of you, but my heart keeps telling me I made a mistake. My girlfriend (19F) and I (21M) had been together about 8 months when I decided to end things. We have had several conversations about what we want out of life, including where we might like to live, having children, where to get married should it come to that, etc. We had a lot of disagreements on these things that I believe a couple should more or less be on the same page about. 

For example, I don’t like putting a time frame on things, when I’m ready for kids, I’ll have kids. Her response to this was “I’m having a baby by 25 with or without you.” In terms of location, my job will most likely take me to California right out of college, she said she would “Never live there, we would have to be in a bordering state and commute.” When talking about a wedding, she wants to have it at Disney World and is willing to take out loans to make it happen, while I believe that to be ridiculous. 

There are other small relationship quirks like certain attitudes or behaviors I disagreed with, but I was willing to work past those and work on it together. However when it comes to these very big life decisions, I just can’t see an ending where both of us are happy, so I broke things off. 

Part of my reasoning comes from a previous relationship, where she and I moved together even though she didn’t want to because she said she was willing to make that sacrifice for me... she wanted to see other people less than a year later. 

During our conversation about separating, she said she was only joking, and that she would be willing to do anything just to be with me. I told her that she shouldn’t have to sacrifice children to be with somebody, and that I would in no way ask her to give that up.

She tried telling me that she will have no on without me, as she poured everything into our relationship and lost all of her friends because of this. I saw this as a guilt trip, and it reaffirmed my stance that in the long run this just was not meant to be. And in my opinion, I would rather rip the band aid off now than have to cut through the stitches two years from now. 

So people of Reddit, am I the asshole for ending things?
