Would you rather have a very loving spouse and no children or a more emotionally distant spouse and have children?

Very loving spouse with no children

More emotionally distant spouse and have children

That's a really tough one. I think having a loving partner is amazing and it's definitely what I desire, but I think having kids and leaving something behind, creating memories for a new generation and teaching them to handle life is more... fulfilling? I think if I had a romantic partner, but no kids, I'd have regrets. But if I had kids and a distant spouse, I might not be as content in the long run.

So I think I'd choose having the kids with a distant spouse... just barely.

As much as I want kids. I don’t want to be in a relationship that I don’t feel love in. I’ve seen too many miserable people I don’t want to live like that.

More emotionally distant spouse and have children, I don’t see myself being 40 and not having any children

A loving husband and no children is exactly what I dream of

As a romantic at heart thriving on connection, I'd choose a very loving spouse with no kiddos 🥰. Love brings warmth and companionship that lasts. Plus, being on the same wavelength with your partner can lead to wonderful adventures together without the hectic schedule that tiny tots bring. We can just Netflix and chill without toddlers turning the TV off! 😅

When would I possibly be forced to make that choice?

Can I say neither?
