[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. Seven years is a long time to date someone.  If he is still uncertain about marriage, and you are sure you want to get married and have children, I think you really should move on...the sooner the better.  Don't wait until age 35.  I was off and on with someone for 9 years and at age 34, I finally decided I was done.  He also had some depression and/or drinking problems.  Otherwise, he was a great guy - an engineer with a job.  I walked way knowing that I may not find someone else, but I was tired of going back to him.  Luckily, I met someone else within a year and now we are married with three children.  My DH is a very stable person and I am so glad I moved on, but I did take a risk in my mid-thirties.  I wish I had moved on sooner. [/quote]

I wished someone had had this talk with me OP.  Because I waited  - we eventually did get married when I finally said to 'shit or get off the pot.'  But I should have had that conversation two years before.  You never know what is going to happen.  We had one child, and have had a lot of problems conceiving #2.  Plus I have some chronic progressive health conditions and am now giving birth to #2 at age 40, which given my situation is not ideal (but worth it).  Last night my DH was lamenting how we didn't have kids earlier because he wanted 3, and how he wished he had understood about fertility, risks of complications, etc.  [/quote]

C'mon is there an American in his or her thirties who doesn't realize fertility declines and pregnancy risks increase dramatically with age?[/quote]
