In the fall of 2016 a friend gave me an astrological reading indicating something drastic would shift in my relationship the following February.
That Valentine’s Day he and I discussed our three-year long relationship. “I know it’s something you’re unsure of, but if you decide you don’t want kids I think I’m okay with that. I really like our life as it is!”
“How am I supposed to know if I want a family when I don’t even know how I feel about monogamy?” he asked. He then told me he had met someone else.
I pay more attention to astrology now.
