I met my boyfriend after the break down of my abusive marriage and he is everything I could ever want in a partner, gentle and kind and an amazing dad to his kids.
I’m 35, always wanted kids, and I see myself spending my life with this man. We’ve only been dating 8 months but the feeling is mutual. I fully embrace his kids (altho I haven’t met them - due to respecting his ex’s wishes - this will come in the future), I already love them because they are part of him.
Anyway, I really would love to have kids of my own one day, I just don’t know how to outright ask if he wants more kids in the future. I would think he knows I do… because I haven’t been shy about what I want, but I’m also aware of my age and the fact he already had two. I guess I’m scared to ask because he is everything I want.
I guess what I’m asking is, how do I bring this up in the right way? I don’t want them right now, we are early days, but I do want them in the future and I know it isn’t guaranteed no matter who I’m with… any thoughts at all on this would be helpful.
