Today, after spending a great day with my nieces, I turned to my husband to ask him if maybe we should start trying to get pregnant like we both agreed we wanted to multiple times. Before the words even left my mouth he said, “God they were exhausting, thank God were not having kids.” FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I asked my husband if it was a good time to think about having kids. His response was, "ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NEVER." I’ve always wanted to be a mom and he knows that. I feel like I’ve wasted my life. FML
Today, we saw a woman with two out-of-control children. As we walked away, my husband said to me, “Disgusting, I’m glad we’re never having children.” News to me, he'd always said he wanted a kid before we married. An uncomfortable conversation is imminent, damn it. FML
Today, my husband is not talking to me because he was happy with the two children we had, but I had major baby fever and spent a year talking him into having just one more baby, and the ultrasound just showed I’m having triplets. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend if he might want kids one day, and he most definitely does not. In fact, he even thanked me for reminding him we need to stock up on condoms when we go shopping, plus he’s even considering a vasectomy just to make sure. I’m already pregnant. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he thought about having kids and, without a pause, he went, “Ew, no thanks.” I’m pretty sure I’m six weeks pregnant so, yeah… FML
Today, after months of trying for a baby and telling me how he wants a family and can't wait to have a kid with me, my boyfriend was relieved when I got a negative home test, saying he's not ready for kids yet. I took another test this morning. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my wife and I have been in the same massive argument for two weeks. We agreed when we were dating that we couldn’t think of anything worse than having kids, we married on the basis we would never want kids. Now, a year later, she wants a baby. FML
Today, my husband told me he'd changed his mind and no longer wants children. We already have two kids. FML
Today, after the topic of grandkids came up yet again, my fiancé confessed that we've been having trouble conceiving. Later, I overheard his mum telling him to take my engagement ring back to the store and get a refund, because apparently I'm not worth marrying if I can't give him kids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It’s possible he meant “not having kids right now” and that he’s planning to wait and enjoy the DINK lifestyle a little bit longer before having them. Or he might have genuinely changed his mind at some point, who knows. Either way though, you need to discuss this with him so you’re both on the same page. If he *has* changed his mind, kids or no kids is a dealbreaker issue, and it’s best to find out sooner rather than later.

I'm sorry he dropped this on you so suddenly, OP. If no kids is a deal breaker and his mind is made up, there's no point delaying divorcing him.

It's funny that he invokes God's name in every sentence but doesn't want to "be fruitful and multiply." Isn't that special?

Look, as a guy I can tell you this: Just after a day with some unruly kids is the wrong time to ask him stuff like that. At that moment, the idea of kids scare him. However, there may be some other situation that triggers his fatherhood instincts and in that moment he will feel very different. You need to play this game with your head, not your heart.
