They won’t be hot after they pop out the kid. But ex wife will still be a hot respected doctor $$$.

You either accept having no children, or get a divorce asap. She's wasting your time right now by being dishonest with you.

And he is wasting her time. DW will be okay as will probably marry a peer ..hot doctor and live a fabulous child free life. OP sounds like a drag. OP do her a favor and move on.

The wife is going to age prematurely and be damaged goods. The peer “hot doctors” will find someone younger and hotter.

Having kids ages you prematurely.

But wait - maybe the doctor wife wants to freeze some eggs and embryos

I truly hate the number of sexist trolls who have taken over this forum , who defend the woman no matter what.


The truth is they agreed to have children, OP still wants children. He needs to know if his wife does or not she owes him an answer and if she does not, it's time to part ways.

She clearly does not want a child. Move on, OP.

She won’t age prematurely if she is child-free. Jealous much!

Several people have told OP that he should find sometime younger and hotter. What in the world does finding someone younger and (especially) hotter have to do with having kids???

Have you read or heard about the tremendous amount of guilt and shame heaped on physicians who try to cut back on their hours even prior to covid. Have you heard how many are struggling with mental health issues.

She may fear there is no possible way she can balance it all.

Balance is a MYTH. Let's be honest here.
The wife wants a busy career, not a child.

Oh please. This thread is nothing but miserable misogynists.

I think if OP really cared about this topic, he would have come back at some point and responded to questions.

As a female with a deep understanding of COVID, I would not consider for one minute having a kid prior to the ability to vaccinate both parents and kids of all ages. Yes, I know millions of babies have been born around the world during the pandemic, but I’m not willing to take on that risk.

Pre-vaccination, getting pregnant substantially increased your risk of serious adverse outcome and the risk to a newborn was also serious. Now, while a vaccinated pregnant woman is safer than unvaccinated, it’s still not entirely clear what the risks are to pregnant women.

Currently, the risks to 0-5 are unclear, particularly in terms of Long COVID. In order to shelter an unvaccinated child you have to seriously limit contact, so daycare is out and maybe even a nanny, potentially meaning a newborn child has to be cared for by a parent until vaccinated.

I’d far prefer to wait until vaccination is available for 0-5. Then the risk of getting sick is much lower, as is the adverse outcome risk, and now there is further mitigation of downside risk from at least 2 possible treatments (antibody and new pill).

This. Plus global warming.

Right now is clearly not the right time for her to decide to get pregnant.
