But she did. Are you deliberately trolling this thread or is it accidental?

I've read those quotes and always felt like she seemed genuine, and was trying to explain her own choices while also trying not to sound too harsh or un-womanly (which is often a real fear for childless by choice women).

If he has kids some day, then he does. That doesn't mean she was foolish or wanted them in the end just because she possesses a vagina. And if she does now or in the future, I feel like an early 40s successful famous woman is a pretty good person to be if you are an older mom!

She didn't say she did not want kids though. She said she is surprised she is still childless and her hesitance makes sense given the Hamm quotes. He definitely did not want to have children and she it appears hung around in case he changed his mind. She must have low self esteem.

x2. Original PP you completely missed the point. No one is wringing their hands over Cameron Diaz, say- who has always said she doesn't want kids. This is someone who said she "couldn't believe" she hadn't had children yet, and presumably did it for the sake of her partner who has been very open about not wanting kids.

And now the relationship is over.

That's what people are discussing.

I disagree. She also said potential regret isn't a compelling enough reason. That sounds profoundly genuine to me, like something my friends who choose not to have kids say. Fact is, we don't know what she wants. But tabloids and gossipy women love to claim we think we can read her mind.

I think it's fairly obvious that her goal was to land a wealthy actor.

Huh? Jon ham was a nobody for a long time

I would guess that he really won't have a kid, even if he ends up dating some hot young thing. She is beautiful and talented, I'm sure if she desires a husband and child it will happen for her.

Bet she'll miss that penis though. Maybe that's why she stuck around for so long.

Amen.

I actually figure she will be the one to have a child inside 2 years -- bio or adopted, with or without a partner.

He might be a total disaster, but the spotlight that certain assets have received will ensure he's not (physically) lonely if he doesn't want to be.

Bummer that they broke up, but I'm not seeing this as some travesty.

My sister kind of "can't believe" she doesn't have kids either because she always envisioned herself having them when she was younger. As she got older, however, she realized -- with a fair amount of suprise--that being a mother wasn't really what she wanted, it was just what she envisioned because it's the "norm" & what's generally expected.

I'm a little sad for any woman who sticks with a guy who doesn't want kids for a long time because she thinks they are in live and maybe forever even though she would have liked to have kids, and then it turns out they weren't forever. Maybe she still has time, but maybe that's closed off to her now, and since she kind of wanted it but for the love that didn't work out, it's kind of sad. Not her fault, not his fault, just too bad you can't always get the important things that you want. That's life.

They were together for longer than a lot of marriages. It's more like a divorce - sad but not earth-shaking news.

They got together long before he was famous, and she was more famous than him at the start as well.

This is over a month old. Why just now posting?
