It wasn't supposed to end like this, bros
Anyone else have this issue?

i met a girl last year who draws. she's pretty cute but there are a few problems. for 1, she is a few years older than me, i think 35 or 36 ish... she's also married and hates her husband. And this isn't a deal breaker but her art is fucking terrible and her laugh is fucking hideous. I would put up with it but I told her I'm not interested in someone who is married, period and you're not gonna change my mind on that. Get a divorce. Also, she told me she doesn't want to have kids. Never wanted kids, hates kids. I want to get married and have kids. And on top of that I'm fucked up. I have depression, I see a therapist. And since covid started I've gotten so out of shape I don't even want to see people with my clothes on let alone without. I told her yea we can hang out and be friends and shit, but she is fucking persistent. I think she can't stay in the country if she gets a divorce. Maybe I have low self esteem but I'm pretty sure that's why she is pursuing me like this.
