To ask if I should stop this before its started?

[FairFuming]

I'm dipping my toes back into dating for the first time in close to a decade.
I've met a guy who I really like, he seems lovely and genuine.
We are taking this really slow and seeing how we get on and everything has been great so far.
Lastnight we were discussing kids, we both already have from previous relationships and he told me that he has had a vasectomy.
I think its great that he knows what he wants but I'm not sure whether I'm ready to let go of the idea of having another child but I'm not sure if I actually want another one (I've told him this and he still wants to see where this goes).

Should I just break this off now? Or do we keep going and see how we get on? There's no guarantee we would ever get to this level of commitment anyway and it's still really early days but I'm just not ready to say whether I'm done having babies yet or not.

What do you want to do? Do you want to keep seeing him even if it's just for now - or not? As long as you're open and honest about where your head's at then do what you want to do.

Completely up to you

Too early to say isn't it. If you're on the fence you would probably not mind sticking with the kids you've got for the love of your life type thing.
The fact that you're considering nipping it in the bud for this reason suggests you are more set on having another child than you think, or you aren't that into him.

I had exactly the same issue 10 years ago - new amazing partner who had had a vasectomy after having 2 kids during his 1st marriage. I had one child and wasn't necessarily done with kids, but in the end I stayed with him as we were such a good match, and I don't regret it. We did look into ICSI/IVF but life got in the way (my parents were going to subsidise it but I had to decline for reasons I won't bore you with), he was willing to have a reversal but my health took a bit of a nosedive so that took a back seat, and I'm now 43, so that ship has pretty much sailed. Although I do often wonder if DD would have benefitted from having a sibling (or us a child for that matter) it's worked out for the best, and I'm with the person I want to grow old with.

I would give it some more time to get to know him ... and you both as a couple. There are (as above) options, or you may realise he's worth the sacrifice, or not as the case may be.

Thank you, your responses have been really helpful. I really like him which is why I'm worrying about this now, I'd love to see where this goes but I was scared of causing us both hurt further down the line.

We've talked again and he feels the same as me so we are going to keeping going and see how we get on.
I think I just wanted to sound it out. :)
