Am I reading too much into this?

I recently put a post on about My partner and I want a baby in the future but he says he’s not quite ready yet (I am) but is happy for me to be pregnant by next April when I’m 31. We always use condoms and he’s usually VERY strict about it. In fact, he wouldn’t even let his penis touch or be near my area without a condom on before, never mind actually go inside me.
The other night, while we were getting intimate, he asked if he could put it in and briefly did without a condom for a few seconds but didn’t move just cuddled, before putting one on. I didn’t question it at the time because I was so surprised. Then the next time we had sex, it was back to normal with a condom from the start.
It’s confused me because it’s completely out of character for him. Am I reading too much into it, or could it be a sign he’s becoming more comfortable with the baby idea? He’s told me he definitely wants children with me, just not this year, so I’d love to hear what others think.
i know it might not seem too deep to others but the fact he was so strict with condoms since we’ve been together and then asks that? It did really through me off. I haven’t asked him as I don’t want to spook him. Thanks

This was just about sex OP, he wanted the feeling with no condom because he was a horny man. There’s no realistic chance he was thinking about having a baby in that moment. You are over thinking it

I think the above post was a bit harsh. Have you tried to discuss it with him?

It says in the OP she’s not discussed it with him. And it’s not harsh, it’s just my opinion, and she asked if she was reading too much into it so I said I think she is.
