[quote=Anonymous]It really is completely different when it's your own kids. Yes it's still hard, can be tedious, etc. - but somehow the bad things just don't feel as bad, at least in my experience. I speak as someone who still dislikes and is annoyed by other people's kids, even when they're good kids, but completely adores my own.

However - if you feel strongly that you don't want kids, you shouldn't have them! You like your freedom and that's fine.

I don't think this guy is the guy for you. He clearly strongly wants kids. Even if right now he's willing to give the idea of them up for you, once the honeymoon phase is behind you and all his friends have kids and are having the experiences he always pictured himself having and now won't be, he is quite likely to feel resentful. I think he's sticking around in hopes you'll change your mind, just as you're hoping he will change his.

Neither of you is wrong but you're setting the relationship up to fail by moving forward when you want different things from life - he's picturing bouncing babies and baseball games, and you're picturing spur of the moment vacations, dinners, etc. Not going to work.    [/quote]
