writes:I'm a college freshman and my boyfriend is a college sophomore. We've been dating for 2 years and a few months now, and we're super happy with our relationship. We've talked pretty thoroughly about engagement and marriage and plan to be engaged within the next 2 or 3 years. In our discussions about marriage, of course the question of children came up. I have always wanted to be a mother and would like to have at least one child in the future. He, however, says that he's not sure that he ever wants to have children. He also says that he has a sort of fear of children... Like that they're always the creepy ones that kill people in horror films. Kinda silly, but that's what he says. Anyway, I think this could be a big issue in a marriage, although I don't feel I'd leave him because of this. But I'm not sure if he might grow to want children as he gets older, as he IS, of course, just a college guy, or if he really will never want children. Any advice?

 omg slow down woman! you got two years or so before you get engaged right thats as far as you should be looking people change alot and sometimes we dont realise. dont push this subject because its something thats far in the distance people think 5 years is along time each year can be different and so are people! so all im saying is take each day as it comes and cross those bridges when they come dont make work for youself enjoy the good times as their arnt many of them :P aphex
