My long term boyfriend and I have been around and around on the topic of children. We have been together for 9 years, he is 16 years older than I am. First we said we may or may not have children, then we said we would maybe adopt one day, then we said no, we don't want to have children. He already has a child- now a grown woman and living in another country. He says he has everything he needs in his life and a child would take that all away from him.
I do not want a child RIGHT NOW, I am almost 30. I may want one someday. My boyfrind says that if I want children, he is not the man for me.
How do you know what you will want years from now? I am afraid that one day I will want children and it will be too late.
Do you settle and go on childless, but happy with a man you love or move on in search of a man who would have a child with you one day if that was what you wanted?
Any thoughts or stories you want to share?
