[quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m a city person. I can walk, bike, drive, or bus to social events, the neighborhood school, the library, the rec center, and the grocery, all of which cuts my stress dramatically. If I have nothing planned for the day, I walk out my front door and don’t stop until I’m deep in Rock Creek or at a museum. My spouse and I both live within five miles of work, which saves us so much time each day. No, Bethesda or a town center-style suburb would not be the same for me. My spouse and I have a lot of friends from 10+ yrs ago who moved to the suburbs. Everyone thinks it’s a compromise. Most lead home-centered lives and engage far less often in cultural and social activities than we’re able to. I’m not going to “yuck someone’s yum.” Just as a four-bedroom house on a cul de sac is my nightmare, I know plenty of people don’t want my Wardman on a postage-stamp lot. But that’s what’s great: We all know our preferences and what works best for us.

If there is a chance you can work out the city/suburb issue, then it might be worth pre-marital counseling to see how set in stone your boyfriend’s ideas about being a SAHM are. As much as it is something some women change their minds on, you want to make sure it’s your decision, not something that someone else forces on you.

Ignore anyone saying you’re “running out of time.” Taking he time to get major life decisions right is worth years of your life because it can otherwise lead to decades of regret on the other end. Also, there are always some unscientific beliefs about fertility, women’s appearance, etc. on this forum.[/quote]
