I’ve been dating my girlfriend for over 8 months now and I’ve been thinking of popping the question.
However, I feel like I have to hold back for a bit… when I started talking with her about
having a family, she show disinterest in having kids. We were having fun and talking about
having 3 kids but then she followed it with “having kids are troublesome,
I honestly don’t want to have any…”
I was taken aback, I had asked her more about it but she just shrugged it off saying that
she just doesn’t want them. I made it clear with her that I want to have kids.
So now I am wondering if we are still on the same page as when we started…
we are both dating with intentions of marriage, but with the current discussion it’s almost
like it might not work out.
When I first met her through a singles tour, she was really charming (still is) and
she made it clear that she wants to find that one person to spend the rest of her life with.
But because we never talked about having kids whatsoever, now that it happened,
I am surprised. What should I do? I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her
but I want to have a family… I really need help, please!
