We've been together for over 5 years (married for three) and from the beginning I have been clear about wanting to have a child/children at some point. She claimed that until she met me, she never wanted kids, but that she had changed her mind and wanted to have a kid(s) together. It became a question of "when" not "if" we were going to have kids. Hell, we have had multiple conversations about what names we would use for a boy vs. a girl. Now that all of the boxes have been checked (health issues resolved, bigger house, she's about to turn 30, I'm 34), she has suddenly turned a 180 and says she's not sure that she will ever want to have children (naturally or through adoption). Needless to say, I was shocked and feel very betrayed by a person that I love very much. I'm willing to give counseling a try, but I'm not sure she will ever come around. If that is the case, how do you decide between someone you love and something you've dreamed of your entire life?
