[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insist that he explain how he came to this opposite conclusion. Was losing you what made him change his mind?  That might be good for your ego but embarking upon parenting with someone he doesn't want it is a recipe for unhappiness. [/quote]

OP here. He’s 33. He’s always wanted kids up until about 3 months before we split up. One of our friends split up after having a child and the other couple we know is constantly fighting after having a child. His brother recently had his first child and the baby is very difficult. My SIL has some PPD issues and I think all of this has made him concerned about having kids. [/quote]

He’s right.

Kids are not a goldfish or a cat or a puppy. If he expects things to be the same between the two of you, then he’s up for a huge disappointment.

A baby will bring out the best and the worst in both of you, and will challenge your relationship in ways you couldn’t think possible. If you have established a relationship that is based on love, respect, empathy, and kindness, you will make it and many many couples do.

Having a baby will amplify the good and the bad traits. If there are already strain lines, they will turn into insurmountable valleys. [/quote]
