I've been married 3 years and I'm 26 and my husband is 31. I've been very vocal about not having children, and then kind of on the fence, and then vocal again. But I think about having them a lot and I'm envious when others get pregnant. I have come to accept that I do want a child. My husband changed his mind first, so he'll be thrilled. However, we disagree on how to go about it. We're very financially stable. We live off one income and do very well. But house prices are such that we couldn't afford one within an hour of his work without an income 3x his. My earning potential is very small, so that won't make the difference. He thinks we should save even more until we can afford a home here, no matter how long that takes. I think he should either commute more than an hour to where we can afford something or transfer jobs to a less expensive area. He thinks this is unfair. I'm wondering just how committed he is, considering how he's been pressing for a future baby. Advice?
