Would you ever marry someone who never wants kids?

I would have said "marry me!" if it wasn't for the fact that I have no interest what so ever to tie myself in a position where I have to have sex with the same person for 10 years... gah. Or even worse, the rest of my life..

But I know people who don't want kids but are married. It's not impossible. Good luck on you, you'll find someone. I mean, most people do subscribe to the whole heteronormative system anyway, kids or no kids.

 

Indeed.
I don't think I want children. So to find someone who doesn't want them either sounds good to me.
However - I'm not super old...so I wouldn't make this promise to someone now, as who knows how I will feel in 10 or 15 years?
Becaue this is a big issue that both partners have to be 100% ok with.

 

More power to ya.

 

I guess I shouldn't have said yes as I'm another one of these people who does not plan/have any desire to get married.

 

Well yeah i would Marry someone who does not want kids, but only because i already have kids myself.Actually i would be quite keen on someone who did not want kids at this stage in my life, but i could just about cope with a man who wanted 1!, i say 1 child of his own.

I would be quite happy either way, as long as there attitude towards my kids was warm, i would not be keen on someone who was ambivalent towards them.

 

No . thats a deal breaker to me. I have had chances to date women before who were great . But when they said they didnt want children, that was a deal breaker for me. I do want afamily one day

 

I definitely want to have kids, and I don't think I could be with somebody who doesn't want them. I have so much love to give :heart:.

 

It's a woman thing probably.

 

I dont think its a womens thing. My man cannot understand why people do not want to have kids and thinks that they must be very unhappy.

I wouldnt go that far.
But as I want kids and as I want a happy partner I should not marry someone who does not want children.

 

Hmm, it's been different in my experience. I always seem to date guys who want to marry me and have kids with me, I'm always like 'shit, dude, I'm 20. No.'

 

But its nice that they can imagine you as the mama of their kids, isnt it? Even if you dont want them now. ;-)

 

I had a girlfriend who asked me "Have your picked out the names for your kids". Of course I told her that I was never going to have kids. We broke up afterward, by her request.

 

Or never.:smt025

 

Just as she wants. ;-)

 

Works for me cuz I don't want to have kids. I don't think I'd make a good parent .... atleast not right now, I want time to myself, I'm a little selfish I admit plus I've never had an overwhelming desire to have children. Don't know why but I never have. I like kids but I also like handing them over to their parents after a few hours - LOL

 

You're not selfish because you never want kids. It's called personal choice.

 

Haha, yeah I got that once.
Him: 'Do you think the name 'James' will sound better with my surname or yours?'
Me: 'Huh? What are you naming James?'
Him: 'Well you know, our son.'

My ex was even better. He tried to impregnate with me without me noticing. I was like 'mate...you're in-between my legs, I can see what you're doing.'

 

I wish there were more men who never want kids. The ones I've come across want kids. Or the men who already have kids and I really don't want to be "mom" to someone else's children.

Lots of times people think you're a horrible person for feeling that way.

 

Oh I know its personal choice but lots of people and for the most, society as a whole, sees people that don't want kids as selfish.

 

Maybe they're just jealous because they're trapped and we're not.
