You are invited to anonymously contribute your secrets to DeviantArtSecret.

The Secret teller would also like to say.
"This, for years, had been a shared dream. We would talk about it and he'd give input happily. It was a common goal. The shift in his stance was sudden, unexpected. Now when I talk about it to him and attempt to emphasize the value this dream has to me he -literally- laughs it off. He won't even stand for compromise(As I have tried, regardless of it being dream shattering) and it just happens to be one dream too important to me to lose a hold of."

"Each secret can be a regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before."

Neither what you want nor what he wants is as important as what you both want. A dream cannot keep you warm at night nor give you love and affection nor raise your child.

Is a dream more important than your family? It sounds like you'll both need to compromise a little, if not for yourselves than for your child.

As a couple you should dream together rather than apart. (:

For everyone saying that they shouldn't leave them just because they dream differently... well... I know this might be hard to believe for some people but sometimes there are certain dreams that feel more important than maybe a love life and marriage. There are some dreams that people hold close to their heart, and those dreams are most important to them. Nobody should have to sacrifice their dream to suit someone else's dream. Sometimes, it might be better to leave that person because otherwise you might always live your life as a regret. Or you might end up unhappy. Down the round you could become extremely bitter towards your other and that would create even more problems. Dreams are different for everyone.

Now, ST, is there any possible way that you could come to some sort of compromise if the situation ever arises where you might end up moving to a bigger house? Have you told them about this dream? Because if you have and they still disregard it, I think you should talk to them about it again. Some people might not approve of me saying this, but if you are with someone who so easily disregards a dream and desire you have always had then you should probably look into other... eh... options I guess. I feel kind of terrible for saying it. However, you said that you have a loving relationship, so I would hope that between the two of you you two could come up with some sort of middle ground.

And I, at least, would agree that it could be more important than the relationship. However, as I said in my comment, they should have discussed this BEFORE having the child, for the child's sake. Having come from a heavily divorced family, complete with two step-mums, in addition to the step-mums being the reason I had to leave both homes before I was ready to stand on my own two feet (I'm lucky that my girlfriend's parents are actually rational human beings), my sympathy is going completely towards the child on this one. Especially if they wind up in my situation, or something similar (nothing against my girlfriend's parents, just hate my own that much).

I know. My sympathies go out to the child too. Of course. In every situation like this it does. However, ignoring a problem like this could create even more tension later. Which is also not good for the kid.

It's really a delicate situation.

Yeah. Let's just hope they can live with a compromise, or like ~Rokkii said, get rich and get a house of each size.
