Should I run???

Question

My boyfriend and I have been dating for nearly 2 years now. He's 18 (almost nineteen) and I'll be turning 18 in September. Lately, he's been hinting towards the fact that he wants a baby so today, I point blank asked him and he said yeah, he wants us to have one. This sounds like a major warning sign to me since we're still teenagers and haven't been together long enough for something like that. I obviously told him that it's out of the question, but it got me wondering. Is this a warning sign? Should this freak me out? I'm just mainly confused.

Answer

No it means he really loves you and wants to be with you for the rest of his life and have a family with you. I agree if you don't feel ready then dont. It's better to wait if you want. But I don't see any warning signs. Lol I'd be happy that I found a family man. :) just tell him how you feel about waiting and if he gets mad about it then I'd worry. But just him sayin he wants a baby isn't anything bad. Good luck :)

Answer

You have to talk first. If you tell him 'I want a baby but not for another _+ years' and he's ok with that then maybe he just got excited about a baby but it's not like he needs one now. If you tell him not for several years and he's still adamant, then yes, run.

Answer

If he gets pushy about that, or if he "acidentally" forgot to pull out, than you should run.

But for example, my bf tells me he wants to have children with me. Not now, we are both in college in very difficult and consuming courses, but he talks about having children in the future.

You should sit with him and explain your POV. Tell him that if he really loves you, he Will wait until you feel ready to be a mother. Assure him that it does not mean you dont love him, u just want to enjoy life together and be stable before creating a family w him. You have to be sure you both are on the same page.

Answer

It's a clear signed that you both are on different pages and you're not ready for a baby right now. You both are currently not in the same headspace as each other. It is best that you both separate and go your separate ways.

Answer

If you still want to be with him, get on birth control or don't have sex with him anymore. If him wanting a baby omits everything else you've seen in him for two years, leave.

Answer

No. As long as you tell him you don't and respect that you should be fine.

Answer

I would voice your opinion. Maybe it's something you want in the future but definitely not now, then make it 100% clear. And make sure he's ok with that. 
If he's not or gets pushy, I would say run. Your partner should be able to respect your choice of wanting to wait. That's big decision and one that should be made together.
