What am I Supposed to Think, Kids, No Kids??

Question - (28 June 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 28 June 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend is 26 and I'm 27 and we've been together for about a year.

He's clear on the issue of kids, he doesn't want any, or at least not in the near future. I don't want kids now either but I don't know how I'll feel when I get to my 30s.

Yesterday we were out and the people sitting next to us had a few kids. I made a comment that I couldn't handle a kid, and he then said 'I bet you that one day you will want one.'

I then asked him what would happen if in the futue I do want children. I asked if that would be something that would end our relationship. He said 'no way, not at all'

What's that supposed to mean?

it means that he is allowing the possibility that you may change your mind someday. and if you do i think he will be flexible. you need to both be clear on this though and not go off of what i think he meant.:) but to me by saying it wouldnt be a deal breaker he is thinking ahead, of all of the "what ifs." He sounds like a keeper to me. :) mal
