Hi, I have just turned 35 and my boyfriend is 30. We live together in our own home and both work. We have been together for the last 3 years and in that time had some amazing and difficult experiences. We have been lucky enough to be able to save up enough money to go backpacking each year we have gone out to an exotic location. That would probably be biggest highlight, along with the fact we are both very active and out and about when ever we have free time. Last few years have also been hard because I have had a miscarriage and lost my father in very tragic circumstances. I now support my mum emotionally quite heavily. The situations good and bad have brought us closer together now. But at the time did cause upset and arguments. My way of coping was to argue with him a lot, take out all my upset on my lovely fella. Which was wrong. Since then I have calmed down a lot and found a way to accept what happened and control my emotions better. But that is all because of my fellas support. I want us to have a baby but he wants to wait longer and doesn't want to try yet, he thinks we should try in another 6 months. But to me it's starting to feel right to try now. We are really happy and think world of each other and I know the baby would bring a lot of joy to the family after all the heart ache we have had. It would be a very well loved child. I don't want to and wouldn't trick him into getting me pregnant. But how do I get him to understand how I feel ? Appreciate any advice you can give. Xxx
