[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how people are responding to this question when the OP did not address them. Totally missed the point of the thread. No one goes into a marriage thinking of it as a starter marriage. Only looking back do you have any insight.[/quote]

Agree.  My first marriage can be thought of as a starter marriage.  We were married for 4 years.  During that time, he said the right things but the actions never followed.  When we were dating and engaged, I made it clear that I wanted multiple children.  He said "someday".  Well someday kept being pushed into the future.  It took me a long time to realize that "someday" for him was his way of saying "no".  Once I figured that out, I flat out asked him and told him that was a deal breaker for the marriage.  I added that if it did not mean no, I was willing to stay but I needed some sort of definitive timeline to start trying.  He admitted that he really didn't want children and didn't want his life to change from what he had.  That was the end for me.[/quote]
