The talk

By Anonymous - 31/05/2023 06:00

Today, I asked my husband if we could start talking about kids. He said sure, so we talked about kids. Then I asked if we could maybe start trying to have kids, and he said, “Absolutely fucking not, are you mad? What’s wrong with you?” FML

The story makes it sound like it's the first time you have this conversation, or did one of you change your minds since? This is one of those points that can destroy a marriage, so should definitely be held before taking the vows. Please tell us this isn't the first time you talked about it.

Kids aren't worth the embarrassment and crippling debt. Get a dog or a cat, instead.

It's too late for you to have the talk AFTER marriage. Your choices are divorce or no kids. Do NOT force him to have kids after he's made it clear he doesn't want them.

If you had this talk with him before marriage and he changed his mind now, FYL. If you didn't and hoped to convince him this late in the marriage, YDI. Which is it, OP?
