The Complications When Couples Can't Agree on Having Kids

Couples Who Can't Agree on Having Kids — Marriage is all about compromise, but what happens when partners can't agree on one of the most important questions of all: having children? Our friends at Whisper are here with some real-life confessions from couples who have different ideas about starting (or adding to) a family.

I think I've changed my mind about having kids one day. I thought I might be ready for it in a few years, but the more I think about it, the more miserable it sounds. My husband would be devastated.

I've been married to my husband for 3 years and he just now told me he doesn't want children... The only thing I want is to be a mom

My husband doesn't want more kids but I do and sometimes when we have sex I pump my hips and ride him fast so he doesn't have time to pull out .

My boyfriend said he doesn't want more kids because he already has a son with his ex. But if I am honest I would really like to have a daughter someday...

My wife doesn't want more children. I understand, but I feel like she ripped my heart out.

I married my wife because I knew she'd be a great mother. Now she doesn't want children

My husband cheated on me because I didn't want children

I want to have a baby. My fiancé has 2 grown children and doesn't want more kids. I love him so much. How do I choose between him and having a baby?

All my husband talks about is wanting another child. He can't accept the fact that I don't want more kids.

I'm giving up my happiness of having another baby cuz he doesn't want any more kids and its in my head everyday

Just found out I'm 27 weeks pregnant. My husband is adamant he doesn't want anymore children. I don't know how I'm going to tell him.

My husband doesn't want more children and I'm starting to hate him for that

I want children but sometimes I think my wife doesn't. She keeps quiet because she doesn't want to hurt my feelings.

I don't want my daughter to be an only child. My fiancé has 2 kids with someone else and doesn't want any more. Now I don't know if I see myself with him in the future...

Boyfriend just told me he doesn't want more kids, I only have one and want one more. My dreams just died

My children are all grown up and I'm desperate for a baby so I can feel needed. My other half doesn't want any more kids 😢

My fiancée who is 10 years older than me and already has two kids told me last night he doesn't want any more children. All I've ever wanted is to be a mom. I'm so crushed and I don't know what to do.

My husband doesn't want to have a baby right now.... But I just don't think I could have an abortion. Now isn't the best time at all but I love this peanut already...
