Boyfriend and kids

[Polly92]

Hello my boyfriend of 2 years has 3 kids with a previous relationship all teenagers. I'm 26 he's 39. How do I go about asking the big would you have more kids question. Obviously I'm a bit younger than him so id love kids even if it was just one. This isn't something we have spoken about yet

Two years in, you should be able to talk about anything. Just ask directly.

I was open and asked and got a big fat no chance big things to think about now :/

Give him time to have a think about it, let him know you're very keen to be a mum and it might make you reconsider your relationship (if that's what you're thinking) ... but he probably needs time to let it sink in and reevaluate first as it takes time to process

I wonder if he doesn't plan (doesn't mean he won't change his mind) to have any more children because he is approaching 40, his children will soon enough be adults in a few years and then he may have more time to persue his own interests rather than go through raising children all over again? It's a thought.

Op, you are still so young. You should be with someone who also wants the same things as you do in the short and long term and it seems that you do want children in the long term but at least right now your partner doesn't.
