I want to start TTC, my partner does not

[Chloeanne1999]

i don’t know why I’m even typing this, I guess I’m just feeling a lot and need somewhere to get it out. As the title says, I’m so ready to start TTC but my partner is not. And whilst I obviously respect his decision and won’t push it or force it, I guess I just feel bummed and upset. I know I’m not in a rush, and maybe one day he’ll be ready. It just hurts a little bit currently seeing people having children and announcing pregnancies. I’m so happy with him, I can’t imagine being with anyone else and I’ll happily wait to start a family with him, I’m just feeling a lot and need to get it out somewhere. I don’t want to keep talking about it to him as I’m worried it’s starting to come across as pushy and like I’m trying to convince him. I’m just a bit sad about it

I wouldn’t intentionally leave it to your 30s if you can avoid it. I am biased on this as I conceived first time twice in twenties and have a long journey of infertility behind me and probably ahead of me right now in my 30s. As long as you know he wants kids in the near future that is okay otherwise you may have a problem. Maybe have the conversation again next year and plan things ahead of you like a PP mentioned to give you other things to take your mind of things and also strengthen your relationship.
