It is really hard when you aren't on the same page, and maybe it is a sign.He’s not the only one who would be missing out on something, I really really want to get married, to me that’s more important than kids and that is what I imagine doing rather than having kids, but he doesn’t want to get married So I’m also missing out on something but I’ve decided I can live with not getting married. So if he did decide that kids were non negotiable then I’d also be angry and upset from that point of view that I’ve decided to stay with him knowing I might never get married, but he’d be leaving because I don’t want kids. Hmm maybe we really shouldn’t be together why is life so complicated
I think so some people who really want kids (alien to me) but they would forgo a good relationship for the idea of kids which I personally think is made but I think some people have this burning desire that it is their destiny. Sorry if you have already said this but has he explicitly said he wants kids. perhaps you need the chat, my friend left her long term partner because she wanted to get married and move forward and he didn't. They were great together but she wanted more.
