what advice would you give to a 37 year old who wants to have kids but not sure about their relationship?

my dearest friend is 37; been in a relationship for 6 years but has never felt that he's really the man for her or the man with whom she wants to have kids. to be blunt and simplistic she feels like she is facing a choice - have children with this man or bin him in the hope that someone better will come along before her fertility runs out. an incredibly crude way of putting it but ultimately what it boils down to. My instinct is that she should bin him now and move on. otherwise she will bimble long and possibly miss out - but I am so not in a position to advise her - I was married at 25. I know that ultimately only she can make these decisions but I desperately want to help her be happy. Is there anything I can/should say? what would you do - if you were her or if you were me?

I think she should leave him. If they're not even living together after six years then there is definitely a commitment issue on one or both their parts and if she wants children she does need to get a move on.

I do feel for women in their late thirties/early forties who haven't had children and want them, it's a tough one.

OTOH if she really loves him and they make each other happy then I think she needs to discuss it with him and get issuing an ultimatum. (Just re read, she doesn't feel this, hmm)
