Boyfriend wants to start ttc...
We've been together nearly 5 months - I do love him but I think it's much too soon. Especially since I'm in my last year of a nursing degree with 8 months to go still, and I want to start my job first before we start trying - I won't get paid maternity leave if I fall pregnant too soon before the job starts next August 😕 don't get me wrong, i really want children and he's the one I want them with 😍 if I was already qualified and in a job I'd probably suggest starting after Christmas and get my implant taken out then (I'm constantly broody haha), he's already qualified in his field and earns plenty and has his own place (I'm renting on campus at the moment). He brought up the subject yesterday and after I explained that I can't yet he seemed really disappointed, he said he just wants to start a family (his own family live in America, Italy and Australia - he's the only one in the UK).
I know this one is the one, and i just want to make him happy. I know i should stick my ground on this - I wouldn't be comfortable living off his wage only and expecting him to pay mine and the baby's way as well as his own - but seeing his face fall when I said it'd be a year before I could broke my heart 💔 am I right to wait like I think I need to? xx
