Today, I told my girlfriend I wanted to get married and have kids soon. She had a fit. Apparently it's creepy and freakish for a man to want a family, and it means I'm secretly a crazy religious fundamentalist. Huh? FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I told my wife I wanted to reconnect with my religion. She told me that if I wanted to I could, but to expect divorce papers when I got back because she doesn’t intend to be married to one of those boring ass religious nut jobs ruining her Sunday mornings. FML
Today, my girlfriend's 8-year-old daughter decided that I'm going to marry her mom and send her to an orphanage. I blurted out, "Marriage?! No one's talking about marriage!" Now my girlfriend is mad at me, and her daughter is still scared of me. FML
Today, my girlfriend of three weeks basically threatened to kill herself if I don't start thinking about having a child with her soon. FML
Today, my fiancé thinks that the only reason I innocently asked him how soon he wants to have kids after we get married is that he thinks I'm racing to beat a friend or family member. Now I can't even be excited about starting a family with this man without having ulterior motives. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend but she refused. Why? Because instead of asking her, “Will you marry me?” I asked her to “be my wife.” She flew off the handle because “my wife” suggests she would be mine, like ownership, like domestic slavery. I don’t want to marry her anymore; she’s nuts. FML
Today, my girlfriend blew up at me for a comment I had made several weeks ago about not wanting kids. Then, she told me that she's pregnant. After consoling her and telling her that whatever we do, we'll do it together, she further explained that she's not sure if it's mine. FML
Today, while having dinner with my girlfriend's very religious parents, her mother called me a heathen and said she'd convert me one day. She wasn't kidding. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she wants to marry me and have my children. I’m 15. We've been dating for 3 weeks. FML
Today, after my girlfriend telling me for years that she would marry me in a heartbeat, I finally proposed. She said no. FML
Today, my mother found out that my fiancée broke up with her last boyfriend because she didn't want kids and he did. She's now demanding that I either change her mind, or call things off with her. FML

If you are 16…… her reaction would be understandable.

I mean, I have no interest in popping out children, personally. It's important to have these discussions on the earlier side of the relationship. And be honest.

I can only hope you two are still young and she can still grow out of this. Because if this is her as an adult, that’s a big ole yikes.

For that reaction you must live in Texas. Good luck

(1) Plans and desires to have or not to have children are really important issues for many people. When important relationship goals are in conflict, it’s usually wise to figure out if there is a compatibility and if not just accept that the relationship isn’t going to work… (2) There are stages in life, that conversation is good and appropriate at some stages in life, but not very appropriate at other stages… It impossible to know if OP was jumping the gun because they, or she, were too young to be considering children or if it’s just a case of conflicting life goals. Many times our goals in life shift as our situation changes. Rarely do our goals do a 180 degree turn, but sometimes things look better at one stage than another. But to be honest, with this kind of reaction, it’s unlikely they will wake up one day and suddenly want children.

Definitely a lot of context being left out here
