I honestly believe that one of the greatest failings of modern sex education is that it is almost entirely focused on preventing teen pregnancy, and does little to prepare women for the other side of the coin -- that they have to start getting serious about starting a family in their 20s, and that may mean reconsidering the idea that women can always have it all.
Link is to Part 2. But in Part 1 she discusses how she left her previous relationship because they were "not compatible." Compatible ... rather than complimentary, which is what men and women are supposed to be....

By December we’d said, “I love you,” met each other’s parents and traveled internationally as a couple. We talked about moving in together when our leases ended, then about marriage, kids and all the fixings of a happily-ever-after.
But as the honeymoon phase faded, it became glaringly clear that we weren’t truly compatible. We bumped heads constantly and, at pivotal times of need, we’d read each other wrong and fail to find respite from the outside world in each other. A younger version of myself may have stuck it out for a few more months, afraid of abandoning the dream of a future I’d become so attached to. But I knew it wasn’t what I wanted, so I walked away.
