Ya, basically my feelings are coming from your first sentence. Both of the long-term serious relationships I've had, ended with them leaving me quite easily. I can imagine having a child is a different type of love, and I can also imagine that having a child will create a bond between you and your partner that will make you stronger and able to raise a good family. I really didn't want to be the downer on this post - but I thought I'd share my thoughts on it for a different perspective. Obviously these thoughts could be conditional on my emotional place right now.

You're not being a downer. Most of us have been in a similar situation. It's no fun and it definitely shakes your confidence in "love". You'll jump back in to the saddle and fall in love again, we advanced apes need love. It's a biological imperative.
