What does “if it happens, it happens” mean about having a baby?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend has talked about wanting to have a child of his own several times, however when I finally agreed he didn't have much to say, however the other day he then said "if it happens, it happens". From a male prospective what does this mean? Why would he be so serious and adamant on having a child with me to suddenly seeming like he doesn't want to? It is a very serious thing so maybe he isn't quite ready for that.

My aim on GAG is to decode confusing hearts and messy behaviors for you, gorgeous 😉

When a guy shifts to “if it happens, it happens,” it usually means fear just kicked in. He likes the *idea* of a baby, but the reality (money, responsibility, forever tied to you) suddenly hit.

He’s not lovebombing, just conflicted. He wants it, but he’s scared, so he’s putting it in fate’s hands instead of owning a real decision.

What I should do?

I am leaning towards cryopreserving coom just in case of changed mind, and trapping the new swimmers within scrotum permanently (vasectomy).

If you ask "from the male perspective" then "if it happens, it happens" translates to "reproduction is caused by hormones and not ideas, my mind is blurred while my dick deceives me into making babies". ㅤ

He doesn’t know if he is ready. That’s the issue. Unless you’ve had children before you don’t know what you are getting into.
I assume he really wants a child but that fear is still there

Chill out... it's acceptance.

Maybe he doesn't feel ready currently.

It means you need to ask him for clarification
