A female reader, anonymous, writes (26 July 2007):

wasnt this something you talked about before getting married? you dont say why your husband doesnt want children. is it his age, is it money reasons, is it medical or is it just his preference . have you asked him "why and what reasons does he have".

with this in mind - how would he have reacted if you had already fallen pregnant?

i dont believe in all the trapping of a man ect so please dont think i am hinting at that, its just there isnt enough information in your question.

in the end if your husband does not want a child then i am afraid you wont be able to change his mind. you will need to decide what you both are actually wanting from marriage and if you both want the same things.

not a fabulous answer but hope it helps

rachy-baby-helps agony auntTo have a baby when you are both not in agreement could push you apart to th point where you may split. A baby is a big responsibility and maybe your husband is scared of that. Talk to him but don't force him into anything. If he really doesn't want a baby, then maybe adoption of an older child would be a better idea? This would mean responsibility, but not as greater one as with a baby.

Good Luck :-)
