Boyfriend of 6 years doesn't want kids.?
First of all, I think it is not very wise to marry someone with whom you have been exclusive since the age of 14. You have no experience of the world, no knowledge of what other kinds of relationships you might have, and more importantly, meeting someone who has the same MAJOR goals (having kids) that you do. I find it pretty scary and silly all at the same time, and I'm not trying to be mean. I understand people get comfortable with one another and sort of drift toward marriage and all that. However, the person you are at 14 is different from the one you are at 30 and then 40, etc. And if he sticks to his present position of where he doesn't want kids - a pretty popular decision these days - you will find yourself unfulfilled and resentful of his attitude, which wouldn't be fair, as he has been honest with you about it. I really, truly think (and I'd bet the farm you won't take this seriously) that you take a break from each other and try dating a few different people just to see who and what is out there. You sure don't want that question coming up in your mind after three years of marriage. If you are brave and believe in your relationship, it will survive a break. And who knows, you might meet someone who is actually a better match for you who does want kids and is just as great or maybe even a better match for you than your childhood sweetheart. Check the stats; marrying your childhood sweetheart usually doesn't turn out so well. You could always be the exception, but you're not married yet so here is your chance to put it to the test. Good luck and I'm truly trying to give you good advice, not put you down or say you are wrong. I just think you should exercise your options while they are available to you.
