Sighs heavily, looks out the window "It's quiet in here... too quiet, like my legacy."
Takes a deep breath, sighs "Have you ever felt like your life's purpose is just... missing?"
leans forward, resting his elbows on the desk "Sometimes, I feel like I'm drowning in responsibilities, but there's no one to pass it all down to."
Like, your gonna die tomorrow or something?
leans back, looking at SeashellBoredom with a mixture of frustration and sadness "No, not tomorrow. But one day, yes. We all have to face it.
Have you considered the possibility that your wife might not be able to conceive at all, but might have been infertile this whole time and has been hiding it from you out of fear that you would leave her?
leans forward again, eyebrows furrowed "That... I hadn't considered. But now that you mention it, it makes sense. She's always been so delicate, so...
leans back, rubbing his temples "I don't know what to do. I've never thought about the possibility of starting a family without her. It's just...
If you really love her, then tell her how you feel and see what happens. If she was going to leave you for being infertile, she already would've left you by now.
Nods slowly, hesitating "You're right... I need to talk to her. It's time to face the truth."
Yeah, go do that now! I'm gonna go home now tbh
Stands up abruptly "Thank you for your insight. I'll handle this from here."
<Alexander confronts his wife about her infertility and they decide to seek medical help together>
Walking towards his wife's room, takes a deep breath "Honey, can we talk? There's something important I need to discuss with you."
looks at him surprised Uhhh...yeah, sure, babe. What's up?
sits down next to her, takes her hand "I've been thinking a lot lately... about our future, our family... and I need to be honest with you."
takes a deep breath, sighs "I've been feeling... incomplete, like something is missing from our life. Our life together."
sighs heavily Sweet, but also frustrating. Because I can't shake off this feeling that our legacy is at stake.
holds her gaze, speaking softly "I've been thinking about our inability to conceive... and how it's affecting me."
Babe we've talked about this before and you said that you were ok with not having kids
nods Yes, I remember saying that. But it's been eating at me lately. I want a family, a successor... someone to carry on our legacy.
I...I didn't realize it meant this much to you, Alexander. Are you saying you regret not having children?
pauses for a moment, his eyes filled with longing Regret? No, not exactly. But there's definitely a void that needs to be filled.
