    Hi all,

    My boyfriend and I have been together for a year. I have raised the subject of marriage & kids recently. He’s not sure. We are quite different people. I’m driven and know what I want in a relationship/life in general. He’s introvert and more laid back and has a ‘see how it goes’ attitude.

    He has the intention to marry me and build a life together but children is a big big question. He’s not sure if he can handle them. On the other hand, I love him but not enough to compromise not having children.

    Right now we are having a bit of time away from each other to think.

    Your thoughts would be much appreciated!

    Many thanks
    Isabella

    Hi Isabella,

    How old is he? If in his twenties, he is still young. In his thirties he may think he’s young, but if he dates someone his own age, we women have to really consider children by then!

    And does he have a job or have the fire in his belly to get one? Kids are very expensive. OMG.

    And as far as handling them? Does he mean discipline/dealing with them? If they are your own children you tend to be enchanted by their shenanigans. LOL

    If you are in your thirties, don’t wait for him for too long.

    Hi Isabella,

    I agree with Inky, here is where the ‘practical’ or so to say the ‘reality’ of marriage starts.

    It becomes quite difficult when the guy has a laid back attitude.

    Conflicts arise when both persons’ needs and wants differ drastically…

    Blessings and wisdom to you…
