You can love someone and still walk away. The situation with your girlfriend is messing up your mental health. Walk away, somewhere there is a better partner for you.
You have been with this guy for 5 years. Do you have plans or at least hopes for marrying or having kids? Let’s talk money. 3 kids takes a lot of costs. You know that good amount of his pay checks would always go to his other kids. He would have to send them to college and support them through life. Are you ok with that? I mean, I’m looking at this from a rational point of view.
You are not being dramatic, your bf is acting like a psycho douche. Open relationships need clear boundaries and communication, and if this is how he reacts to that? It ain’t looking good.
I don't disagree but OP needs to be aware of the realistic concerns that waiting until 35 implies.
A lot of women are going to want to have kids sooner for that reason, but obviously no group is a monolith, I'm sure some women will be on his time line.

Yeah but it's totally fine for OP to not want to participate in that!
