Okay, this is just getting creepy! Our similarities are astounding!

I never wanted kids either! The only difference is that I am an only child, and I felt compelled to have children (at least one) just so that my mom would have grandkid(s). (She has since told me that her biggest regret in life is that she didn't have more than one child so that she would have grandchildren. Guilt trip much???)

So, I went about the business of trying to get pregnant at the age of 30. Thankfully my body didn't co-operate and after about the third tortuous miscarriage (I truly do think I actually willed it to happen as I was NOT excited to be pregnant), I realized that my reason for wanting to get pregnant was NOT a good one!

A few years later, that marriage ended as well.

SO THANK GOD! Like your boyfriend, mine also does not want kids, so we are blissfully happy with it being just the two of us, and I can not imagine how crazy life would be if I had of had them. Not too mention they would have come from a broken home as that relationship was doomed for failure from the onset.

I also believe that the world has enough people and it is a bit irresponsible to be bringing new humans into this crazy existence. But that's not up to us, Mother Nature will figure that one out on her own.

Thanks, as usual, for your honest writing. The more I read, the more I can see what kindred spirits we are:)
