[quote=Anonymous]OP I got married at 22 and planned that one day, in the far off future, that we would have kids. In my mid to late 20s, my husband and I started having a lot of conversations about what having kids would be like and how we should start planning for them. As we had these conversations we both slowly came to the realization that it wasn't something that either of us wanted. I wasn't depressed, I didn't have a horrible experience with children, I just decided the things I want to do in life would be much easier and more enjoyable without kids.

When we finally made the decision to live a childfree life, it was like I was finally truly excited about our future. It felt like the fog cleared. We could actually think about what we really wanted out of life together and not how to prepare for future kids. My husband even got a vasectomy, that's how certain we were.

It's been 6 years now since we made the decision to be childfree. I'm 32 and still have no regrets. I love our life together. My husband is my best friend and I'm so excited about all the future adventures we have planned. I guess my point is that it needs to be something you definitely want too. We would not be as happy and content with our life as we are if we knew one of us had to give up something we truly wanted. That's not to say that there are not always compromises that need to be made in a marriage, but kids is honestly one of the only things you can't really compromise on.[/quote]
