1) I will not hesitate to put myself and my needs/wants in priority when making decisions regardless of how the other party feels, this is particularly true in social situations for example if I want to leave prematurely or turn down an invitation. 2) Throughout my life I've changed lifestyle (hometown, country, friends, relationships, etc.) repeatedly and thus get thrown off quickly with serious relationships regardless of how good it's supposedly going. 3) I overthink shit constantly without sharing the problem, often leading me to make decisions/come to conclusions that seem impulsive or irrational to the other party who has no idea it's been on my mind.
So you make yourself a doormat? How are you working to address that? And, in your relationship, you've clearly put your natural instincts to be a father, aside, to accommodate your GF's dysfunctional perception of children. So you have a directly relevant piece of evidence for this weakness.
This is not a weakness. This is just a set of life circumstances. A weakness about you could be that you are indecisive and wishy washy like a high school girl and your self-governance leaves something to be desired. Something like that.
Directly relevant to your situation. Express yourself to your GF.
If your GF can accommodate your genuine biological need to be a father and a husband, will you stay?
Brother, do not get me wrong: I understand you need to be attracted to your spouse. A woman can have a rocking body well into her 60s. She has to work at it. Just like you do. Have her workout with you.
And also work through that child thing with her. If she is unwilling to compromise, you need to break up now, not later.
Focus the "cannon" on yourself. Reflect on your weaknesses. And work on them. You'll find your life's problems are often related to your own faults in some way shape or form. And it looks like you've hit it with 2 out of 3 of your items.
I'm similar to you: very fit, naturally handsome, great education, great job. I used to be a doormat. But I learned how to setup boundaries. I have left girls flabbergasted by rejecting them for stuff I do not accept such as smoking or drinking all the time. But I have boundaries. Before I ask anyone to be my GF, they get the "want kids?" question. If they say no, immediate peace out. Also, if they want me to do some stupid kinky sex stuff like shit on them or beat them, I'm out. No butthole, shit, or beating in my relationships.
Put your foot down. Setup healthy boundaries. Keep looking. If you're as confident and fit as you say you are, you will have no problems finding someone else.
I appreciate the response brother. Peace.
