When your partner doesn’t want kids.

It seems to you that it is right time to have kids. But for some reason your partner is against it and simply doesn’t understand you. Well, it happens. He even doesn’t want to talk about it and always tries to do his best to switch the topic. Many couples face the same problem. And of course your partner has dozen reasons to avoid the conversation. He is sure that you are not ready, you have no time, you have no enough money. In fact those reasons have nothing to do with reality.

Try to understand what are actual reasons your partner doesn’t want to have children. Probably he had family problems when he was a child, maybe he was abused and has no a role model to follow. Talk to him and try to find out what really bothers him at the moment. You never know what actual reasons of his decision are. Try not to be too demanding and impulsive otherwise it may damage your relationship. Your aim is to understand your partner and his position. Probably it might help you to move on.
