I'm 27, and my boyfriend is 30. We have been together several years and are looking to buy a house. I want to get married, but I'm too much of a chicken to bring it up. I secretly know that he's looked at rings, though.
He brought up the topic of kids when we were out a few weeks ago, and a little buzzed. He said that I'd better "decide" in the next 3 years if I want kids or not. What does that mean?
He says he doesn't want kids, but then sometimes things come up and he says things like, "if we had a kid....."
He seems confused about it, and honestly I am too. I think I might like to have kids but the whole birth process scares the s**t out of me and I don't feel ready, although I'm getting older.
So I guess my question is, do a lot of guys his age feel this way? He says that he worries if we had a kid, he "wouldn't love it". But he is the nicest guy ever and he is so nice to his nieces and nephews and I know he would be a great dad.
