Hello,

I'm not sure where to post this, but here it goes.

I want to have a baby. I've wanted to have a baby for a long time now. My partner and I have been together for 2 years. We've talked about getting married, having babies, how we'd raise them, all the details.

We live together, and have a pretty solid relationship. He works full time. And here's the troublesome part; I'm a student.
Deciding to go back to university at the grand old age of 29 (I'm now 31 and studying for a masters degree) has been fantastic, but he wants to wait to have children until I have a job and we're more financially stable. Realistically, this is at least another 3 years away, if not more.

What do I do? I don't want to wait until I'm almost 35 to start trying (I have very irregular cycles and I've been tracking my ovulation with no good signs of anything actually happening).

Everyone says "there's never a right time" and "you'll work around it", but he seems to think one day we'll just wake up, the stars will align and it'll be time... Sad

It’s a difficult one. I see both sides, is it purely for financial means that he is reluctant ? X
