Guys would you leave your partner if she didn't want kids?

Question

tough call.
I couldn't have kids, and I did lose relationships over that, some started out ok with it, but then the motherhood urge kicked in.
I totally understood, but it still sucked.
just the hand I was delt. The odd thing is that before I found out I just never had the urge to be a parent.
It was really important to them which I get.
As I got older it wasn't an issue because most women usually didn't want to have another baby, or couldn't either because by choice, or menopause.
It's odd, but just by chance my wife couldn't have kids either, but neither one of us knew that when we first started dating.
We were both well beyond the age of having kids.
Now I do understand that there is a difference between not being able to vs not wanting kids.
Some people just know that they don't want to be a parent.
hopefully that was discussed early into the relationship.

Well if you really want kids at your age I would leave the relationship. I never really wanted kids, but I was never against it either. At 45 if she had to have kids, or really wanted them then I would probably leave or never even get involved with her to begin with.

I did have kids eventually and it was not planed. Let me tell you this piece of wisdom never have kids with someone who is not fully committed to it. Your just signing up for life of pain and anxiety.

Yes, if I wanted kids and she could have children but didn't want them. It's a simple interest conflict that justifies separation in my opinion

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, if we aren't married. If we are married I would suggest couples counseling. Though I would ask her if she wanted kids before marrying her.
