So we?re realizing it may not be good to prolong our relationship any longer, since we have different ideas about having kids. She has known that I have always wanted children, although I was not in a rush (think 5 years, give or take). I absolutely love playing with my nieces and am generally very good with kids. They?re fun! I have even been pretty blunt and said, less than a year into our relationship, that if she never wanted children, then we did not have a long-term future together. She was not very interested in having kids at that point in time, but didn?t close off the possibility that she could possibly want a child someday in the future. In fact, she referenced her own mother, who did not want kids at all until after she turned 35. Well, we revisited the issue last week, at least partially spurred on by her milestone 30th birthday and her mom?s recent prodding regarding having kids in the future. She?s decided firmly that she does not want kids at all now. I think her reasoning is pretty typical for people who don?t want kids, although some of it is pretty drastically the opposite of my own. She doesn?t want to bring kids into a world that she thinks has a bleak future, namely due to climate change and human and animal suffering. And her freedom and flexibility is extremely, extremely important to her. We live a lifestyle where we travel almost constantly and she does not want to give it up forever. She worries about having ****ty kids We have plans to travel throughout Alaska and Canada all summer and probably internationally in the fall.
I have not been trying to change her mind. I think that it has to be completely of her own volition. It?s just too big of a decision for me to try to convince her into. But I know that I am getting older, even though I don't mind being an older dad. She said that we ?don?t want to waste each other?s time if we need different long-term partners someday.? Her words, but I understand the logic. And I don't think it's just that she doesn't want my kids.The rest of our relationship is not perfect, but I firmly believe that we could work out any other issues, which are more run-of-the-mill. We are generally quite in love and affectionate to each other and enjoy our lives together and could otherwise spend the rest of our lives together.
