Dear cupid,

I want to know what do you think i should do if i have been in a relationship for four years and i want to have a child but my partner does not want to have one? he wanted to marry me then he took it back then he wanted to try to have a child then he took that back too, that really hurt me and im at the point where i dont think that there is any moving forward because i am still very hurt and feel rejected in a sense. Im also thinking about artificial insemination, i do however know that this is not normally something someone my age would do but i have differnt circumstances that made me feel like this should be the option, i got my period when i was five and i dont know how long or at what age i will not be able to conceive and it bothers me.....so what do you think i should do?

kih88 agony auntEven if you did start having your period when you were five, I would think menopause wouldn't kick in this early, still. I think you will still be fine for a while. I'm sorry about the situation with your partner; it must be so hard when one partner wants one thing while the other doesn't. If having a child is something you really want, though, I would try to really discuss the matter with your partner and try to reach some compromise--even if you need to seek some sort of counseling to get yourselves to some kind of agreement or understanding of each others' needs. If you feel like the relationship is falling apart and are giving it up, artificial insemination is certainly an option that's out there to ensure you have baby if you don't have a partner that can contribute sperm through natural means. If you have a baby either way, be sure you have support and caring from your family and friends, and that you definitely have people to fall back on and can help you. Raising a baby by yourself is certainly possible, but having people to help you and depend on makes it much easier so you aren't lonely or stressed.
