We've been going out only for a couple of months. We're having a great time and are thinking something long term but my boyfriend (who is 36 and 7 years older than me) has already (in passing) said he wants a long term relationship but doesn't want kids.
I am looking for someone to settle down and have family with. So its beginning to really bother me that he thinks this way. For him, its because he sees it as an uncessary burden, he thinks life is too short and there's a lot two people can do, and experience together without the extra responsibilities. ..... but that's not how i view life obviously.
He isn't a terribly stubborn person and whilst he has his views, i'm not sure how much of a compromise (if indeed this is something to compromise on!) he is willing to make for me a few years down the line....
Do you think i should carry on with him, or am i just pursuing a wrong relationship that is fundamentally flawed, that will come crashing down over this issue??
