How long to give this relationship?

I’ve turned 36 and I am thinking seriously about settling down with a partner and starting a family. I’ve been seeing a man for just over a year who I can see myself settling down with. He started off extremely keen but things have calmed down now. I told him very early on I was looking for a husband to start a family with and he said he was on the same page. Now he seems a little unsure, and as a result, I’m unsure now as well.

I don’t want kids now, but I know I can’t leave it too much longer.

I was thinking of giving it until next summer to bring it up seriously as to next steps - as we’ll have been seeing each other for approaching two years.

Does this seem reasonable?

Really, if you're asking yourself this question after a year, the answer is obvious. If you don't know whether it's right, it probably isn't.

He sounds like an extremely immature twat.

You are both wasting Your time.
As far as I'm concerned any man feeling presumptuous enough to tell me what he would like MY body to look like, would be dumped.

He's the type that would be berating you a week after giving birth for your tummy.

He's a freak.

Right. He's ancient and still has the Peter pan mentality (only feels ready for fun). He's a dick head. Even if he miraculously decides to grace you with his offspring, you'll come back here a week after birth asking how to lose baby weight instantly so that he finds you attractive again. What is the point? Also you're 36, not much time left for kids.
