[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion came up with my boyfriend of 6 months last night. We've discussed in the past that we both would only want one child, but last night the topic of timelines came up and he shared that he thinks he should be with someone for 4 years before having a kid. I'm not trying to get knocked up next week, but this honestly was surprisingly long to me. We're both 34 years old, so to start trying to have a child at the age of 38 seems unrealistic to me.

I woke up feeling a little panicked about it. I can't force someone to change their minds about such a big decision. This isn't something you just compromise on. I don't know why I'm posting. Maybe I want people to tell me I'm unreasonable and 4 years is the minimum so I should stick it out. Or maybe I want people to tell me to cut my losses and try to find another relationship. [/quote]Dump him, he's hiding feelings of inadequecy and 4 will turn to 8 to turn to 16 to forget it.  Sperm doesn't last forever.  [/quote]
