I am 25 years old, and my husband is 26. We have been together for almost 9 yrs, and have been married for a little over 1yr. We are both college graduates, with decent jobs. I feel a strong, overwhelming desire to have a child and my husband is not ready. He does want children, however at this time he says he "feels have a child will mess up our lives". And, he frequently reminds me that "he is not ready to have a child yet". I try to be fair and understanding, however as of recent I have become completely frustrated. He is a planner, and he feels we need to have better incomes before we have children. However, our income exceeds $150,000/year, and our relative debt is minimial. I am an RN, and have very flexible schedules, therefore I would still be able to work after having a child. He says "we have a lot of time ahead of us", which is true. However, I have explained to him that there are no guarentees...it could take years to get pregnant. And the list of reasons goes on. HELP!!!!
