>>19704343Once you have children your life is forever changed and the true freedom you once had will never ever return. That's horrifying and as much as I want kids, I want to put that off as long as I reasonably can. That being said I also really love kids and I really love my partner. Every day I want to start a family with her more and more. The feelings of wanting her to have my kids right now are starting to outweigh the feelings of fear. She also was adamant about not having kids when we first got together but she's gone from "maybe we can talk about it" to "I wouldn't be opposed if it's something you want" to "I want to have your children" very quickly and I'm worried if I wait too long she might change her mind again. But we're both still in our 20s, early in our careers, with lots of debt and a whole lot to learn about the world. I don't know.
