[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of thoughts here.

I went through something similar except it was DH who did not want kids. We broke up because of it, which I think was the right thing to do, and found out we really missed each other. When we got back together, we agreed to have a child. ONE child. I accepted that and we now have a 10 year old. Life is really great. But that is only because though I was willing to compromise on my vision of 2-3 children, I was not willing to give up being a parent. My point is, for you two to stay together someone has to give something up, and that something will be big.

I was also a teacher (Kindergarten). I hated it. Same feelings as you. I can't say that never happens in early childhood, but it isn't quite the same, as other pointed out. Your mileage could vary.

I think you will have an easier time being childless by choice than a man would: many women would take huge issue with a man not wanting to have kids, but I think more men are accepting of this because their biological urges to parent are...just less powerful.

If you really think he is fooling himself and you are sure, you should be direct and either agree to compromise, wait a set amount of time to decide, or walk away if he is wavering or disillusioned.
