Just wondering if there are any women out there that would like to marry, but do not want to have children. I'm getting divorced over this issue....she wants them, I don't. Wondering if I'll ever find someone else in life...

i am a woman that doesn't want to have children and will not have children (thanks to surgeury). i am involved in a relationship and my man knows this. i give him every opportunity to walk away if he just has a 'need to have chidren' cause i won't be taking care of any. i value my freedom and my independence too much as i'm sure he does the same for himself as well. you will not be the first. do a search for the term 'childfree.' you will be directed towards a wealth of information. :o)

I want to get married and not have children.Look at the world !Plus the exspense.I love kids but who can you really trust to look after them besides family?There so many sickos out there.Marriage is great it can be so fulfilling to have a mate and a partner to go places and just be together. Dont worry there are lots of women out there who dont want children.I just see the world as a very uncaring place to raise children.Plus I have hobbies that are not real kid freindly like traveling and I love motorcycles so that would be hard with a child.Dont worry you will meet somebody.You are just going through the breakup blues right now.

Yes, there are such women out there. My husband and I also fought over kids (he suddenly decided he wanted them, I didn't) and it was a contributing factor to the decline of our relationship, as well. I also have several women friends who say they would like to be married and not have kids.
Sorry to hear that this has ruined your marriage. It's tough to think that you might ever find someone else right now, but you probably will. :-) Good luck!

I disagree with that truth. a lot of ladies individuals who've tremendous careers or under no circumstances discovered Mr. properly have sturdy lives. Being Childless isn't a criminal offense. in truth mom hood isn't for each human being. do not enable judgmental women human beings worry you. Marriage fails better than make it on the present time and time. Your friends do not seem down on you only the former - college.

Tough issue. Didn't the two of you discuss this before marriage? Or has she changed her mind? My husband and I married in our late 30's, both deep in our careers, and do not want kids, we discussed it very openly before getting married. I do agree that women have a maternal thing, and if I would have married younger, maybe I would have felt the same way. My husband and I are very happy with just the two of us.

We women think that we can change your mind about this; that somehow our love will warm your heart. I suggest finding an older woman. And on the first date make it clear that you do not want children. Or take "match-ups" made by friends to women who have had their tubes tied :-) There are plenty of them out there, but most of them are grumpy career women!

You should've considered this before getting married... you guys never talked about that subject before?? Most all women want to have a child of their own. Unless you can find someone that is really career driven and doesnt need children in their life.

Maybe this time you should slow down long enough to find out what the other person wants in life before you jump into marriage. You aren't even divorced and your talking about finding someone else.

I don't think so. It's pretty much an inate human womanly desire and instict to reproduce and nurture offspring. Eventually EVERY woman hears that "ticking clock," even if they don't hear it in the beginning of a relationship. I knew three women who didn't have children because of their husband not wanting any- one got divorced and the other two only live with their husbands out of convenience, not for love. They actually despise their husbands.
I'm sorry- I can only give you my personal experience. Kids aren't all bad- especially when they are your own flesh and blood. Trust me- you'll look at children completely differently after you have them.

Yes my wife. I want kids and she doesn't. Perhaps you two can get together as I too am serious contemplating divorce.
