We want different things!

So I’ve been seeing this guy for a few years now and he’s starting to talk about wanting kids!? He is perfect in every way and I want to spend the rest of my life with him but...i dont think I want children...

He has been talking about wanting a family for about a year now and every time he mentions it my stomach flips over and I don’t want to talk about it.

I think the reason I feel like this is because giving birth absolutely terrifies me and I know women around the world do it every day but it really really scares me.

I’ve hinted at maybe thinking about a surrogate but he didnt continue that conversation.

I want to be with him but it makes me sad that we want different things and it scares me that this might split us up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
