Hello,
This is a hard subject to navigate and I was hoping for some advice
I have wanted to have a child for 2 years now, I brought it up with my partner initially and he said nothing and never brought it up. So I have brought it up more but he just keeps saying not yet, he agrees that we could cope with having a child now (financial and otherwise) but still says no ultimately. We have been together 3 and a half years.
I am so desperate to have kids now, I think about it all the time and it doesn’t help that every time we see his parents they bring up grandchildren. He says he wants to wait a few more years.
It’s started to affect our relationship and I know I can’t pressure him to change him mind, it’s not right but I feel the frustration his decision has made seeping into our day to day conversations and turning them into arguments.
I don’t feel there is a compromise between having and not having children? And I don’t want to wait years and it then be too late.
Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there any advice to help?
Thank you in advance,
Jess
