My boyfriend and I are very serious he wants to get married, but he doesn't want any children?

Question

I always wanted children, I'm deeply in love with my BF. He is firm on not having any. So I don't know what I should do? Do I stay with him because I'm never going to find this deep love and connection. Or do I go and find someone that wants the same things in life.

Answer

I hate to vote to find someone new but if this is something important to you and you've always wanted it then that's kind of a deal breaker. You have to look at your life and decide whether you could be truly happy if you didn't have children or if you'd always want them and regret not having them.

Answer

Girl, You're going to have to go. It's going to be hard at 1st but in the end you will realize that you weren't meant for eachother. You will find the right man for you that loves you and wants the same things. You are being so responsible thinking about this before marriage a lot of people think they can change a persons mind.  But you can't. Good luck! Hope you find everything your looking for in life. You only got one so make it what you want! 👍

Answer

If he truly loved you he'd either 1. Compromise and at least agree to have one child or 2. Tell you he's not right for you and let you go. No woman should have to give up her dream to be a mother for a man.

If you want children, end things now. He won't change his mind and that's unfair to you. You will likely end up feeling a lot of regret and resentment later and that's just not healthy.

Answer

Do you live him more than you want to be a mum?

That is the question you need to ask yourself.

Answer

I'm sad to say that if he is adamant about not having children, it will be the same after marriage.  If you want children, then sadly you aren't on the same page.  You will either be miserable that you dont have children of your own, and if he's forced to have children, he will be miserable that you made him something he didn't want to be.  I applaud you so much for carefully thinking this all through before getting married.  Bare in mind if you do marry him- that you will have to put aside your dream of having children of your own.  Are you willing to do that?  That's something only you can answer...

You don't want to wake up one day wishing you had children, but it's too late. You may end up resenting your BF.

Answer

Don't stay in the hopes of one day changing him. Best to end things now if you really want kids.

Answer

This is a marriage deal breaker. He's not going to change his mind, and you'll likely end up harboring resentment. You'll have to decide between him and motherhood if you truly love him.

Answer

If you're both not on the same page, marriage should be out of the equation really.

Answer

If you really want to have kids your going to resent him later and you're probably going to fight a lot if your truly wanting to be a mother. Has he said why he doesn't want kids?
