He hasn’t had like the typical life of a 37 year old so I kinda get his perspective and he wants a kid before 40 and I want kids young so w that aspect I think we match but he definitely doesn’t respect my boundaries

If he doesn't respect your boundaries the conversation stops there. That isn't the recipe for a healthy or happy long term relationship and even if you don't stay together if you reproduce you'll be forced to have a relationship forever whether you want one or not.

Edit: PS, having the self confidence to dump someone because they don't respect your boundaries comes with experiences. It's why having a child super young is often a bad idea, you don't know yourself, relationships and the like well enough to know if the person you want to have a baby with is someone you should do that with. And I'm sure there are 18 year olds here or there who have that maturity but most don't, and there is nothing wrong with not having it yet. If you couldn't get to the point of recognizing you should dump this guy on your own, you probably don't have it yourself, at least not yet.

Do you think he’s going to respect your boundaries as a mother? What about the children’s boundaries? This is a recipe for disaster and dysfunction. It’s already started.

what evidence do you have of that? You've been dating for 6 months and most of it is just sex, you don't know this person at all.

If he wants you to mother his child, he should be respectful, and clearly he is not.

He has a lot of wisdom and he’s super caring and nurturing like w/ his family members and me too

Your entire post is proof that isn't true. You clearly are not mature enough for a child.

This is not a substitute for respect. That’s not “super caring and nurturing”.

He’s not respecting you now. Why do you think he’ll start respecting you just because you had his kids?

He’s showing you who he is. Believe him. If he doesn’t respect your boundaries, why do you think he’d respect the children’s? He can’t be a good father and be disrespectful to their mother. It just doesn’t work. This is not a person I’d ever have kids with.

You are still in high school. What are you doing dating someone your parents’s age? There are plenty of women who can give him a child before 40. Stop this madness and use protection.
