[quote=Anonymous]I proposed to my husband (I was 30 years old) after 3 months of dating...lol! I made it very clear I wanted to try to have a baby by 32. He was then 28...lol! He had huge student loans and hadn't really launched in his career. He told me he wasn't ready. I said okay. I'm moving to a different city for my career. I was not going to stay in DC if I had no commitment.

He agreed. He did not buy me an engagement ring, but he did buy the wedding bands. Even after marriage, he was very hesitant about trying to conceive. I googled sperm donor banks and showed the results to him. I said, "With or without you..."

We conceived within 1 month trying and had a beautiful daughter 1 month after I turned 32.

He is still finding his career, but have been a great hands on dad. If I had to complain, it would be that I bear the brunt of the financial burden. But I tell myself this was my choice, and my husband does his best with what he has. I do feel that pang of envy when I hear of beautiful proposals, see women with their gorgeous engagement rings, or the SAHMs who can shop at fancy stores and have trust funds for their kids. But I tell myself this was my choice. I joke to my husband he could be on the market for a 24 year old hottie. But I see his joy in our daughter also and he told me also that he was very thankful I came to his life when I did (or he could just be pulling my leg). So we both made our choices I suppose.

I do get scared because my mom tells me that he will leave me when I don't have money anymore.  [/quote]
