Ladies: How would you feel if your significant other wanted to donate sperm to a sperm bank?

I would be strongly opposed to it. He is who I have chosen to have my children with, I want to be his choice exclusively as well...obviously there is a big difference between donating sperm and raising children together, but I just don't like the idea of another part of him being brought up by someone else.

I don't know a single person that has donated sperm to a sperm bank. If they are all the kind of person that my husband is, then I guess that is one hell of a valuable bank. However, my husband would never do this is a million years - so I have a feeling that the ones to whom it appeals are either poor and desperate to make a buck and give little thought to the larger implications, or are egotistical to the point where it is a character flaw. But I am just guessing.

If he wanted to - I wouldn't stand in his way - so long as the children would not be the same age, same community, as our children and create a creepy potential romance complication - a "can I date this person or is he really my brother" situation for our children.

I don't really care.

As long as the donation was not legally binding for my husband to pay child support, or have an active part in this child's growing up, I couldn't care less.

It's DNA - my husbands love, support, affection, and OUR children would still be ours.

I wouldn't be comfortable with it, especially if we were in a long-term, seriously relationship (like a marriage or a relationship leading to one). I don't want even the chance of a random biological child showing up on our doorstep someday.

his choice.

i'd feel weird about personally having contributed to the birth of a child for whom i wasn't going to take responsibility once they were born. however, i can understand the desire to help out people who can't otherwise have children, and if my husband made that choice i'd respect it.

I wouldn't want other women carrying a child produced by my husband's DNA.

I don't think I would be ok with another woman carrying my husbands child.

If SO means he's my husband then no way, no how, no where is it happening, sorry. If SO means he's my boyfriend, then it's not my place to be involved in his life decisions, but I probably would not continue to date him.

It would be ... weird.
