When I was dating my husband, we had several discussions, even fights over a kind of similar issue. He knew that he wanted kids one day. I wasn't sure if I'd ever want kids. I used to tell him he should break up with me because I didn't think that I would be enough for him without kids and at one point, he didn't know if I would be either. Anyone who heard about this would tell us to break up, we're not matched well, this will only cause problems down the road. But we loved each other and didn't really want to break up. Well, eventually, he decided he'd rather be with me than anyone else, regardless of whether or not we have kids.

Ironically enough... we got married and then shortly after my husband got a really good, stable, well paying job, and all of a sudden my baby clock started ticking after my whole life of not expecting to ever want kids. And now he's more on the fence about having kids, anyways.

I don't know if that was any help at all. But it just seems like kids and marriage are the two things couples should agree on before getting in too deep. But we didn't agree, and we decided to just give it time, and eventually it all worked itself out. I can't say if that's what you should do or not. Maybe my husband and I just got lucky; I'm sure things could have turned out a lot worse for us. But then, it's all a learning experience anyways.

Good luck!
