We had this discussion when we got engaged. I told him I didn't want any children and that by marrying me, he would be guaranteeing himself to a single life, only with me. Well, today, he came up to me and told me that he wanted a baby. He said that it was part of his culture to pass on his traditions to his children and that when we got married, he did not think I was serious and would warm up to the fact eventually. However, I am a professional ballroom dancer and falling pregnant is not good for my career at all. And, bringing a child into the world would tie us down. I've been pregnant once before... before we got married. I got an abortion. I don't know what to do anymore and he says that this is VERY important to him. But my career is extremely important to me. I <3 my job and would not trade it for anything in the world. I am Asian heritage and my husband is of Middle Eastern heritage.
I don't see how bringing a child into the world will change our lives for the better at all.
