We have been together for 5 years. She is 23 and I am 25.
She told me about 6 months ago that she really wanted to start trying for a baby.
I told her that we can start trying to conceive next year because our house will be paid off then.
We will have $0 debt next year and I want to be 100% financially stable when she gets pregnant.
With no mortgage payment we will have $2400 a month for a baby, retirement, college savings, etc.
She agreed to wait, but I can tell she is upset.
She talks about babies a lot and I get the vibe that her feelings are hurt that we will be together for 6-7 years before she is even pregnant.
To make it worse, her friend just got pregnant by her boyfriend of a year.
What do I do to comfort her? We have a dog, so its not like I can give her something to practice with.
What can I do to get her mind off of a baby until next year?
I am going to give her a baby, its just not the right time now.
