I 31F and he M32 have been together 7 yeaes. Basically 6 months ago I told my partner I want kids and would like to start trying. He agreed reluctantly at first was against but then agreed. Cut to a week ago my friends are over we are discussing possibly baby names and talking about kids (me and my friends). My partner says out of no where hes going on a walk and will come back soon. He comes back once my friends have left and says he doesnt want kids and knows for definite he doesnt want to be a dad. Its been a hectic few days and emotional. But ultimately I have decided to stay with him because I love him and hes my best friend and the one person in this world tbat gets me. And apart from the not wanting kids bit our relationship and he has a whole had been great. But now I cant help but feel low amd depressed and mourning the fact i will never be called mammy or have a child and its really breaking me.
Just an edit *** when we got together 7 years ago I always told him I wanted kids and would love to have children. He always said he liked the idea. It wasnt till 6 montb ago when I said I would like to start trying and think about it properly.
