How far would YOU go??

I wouldn't end the relationship. But it's interesting, just yesterday on another board there was someone who started this very same topic only saying that they see no point in marriage if you don't have kids.

Well how shallow is that? What happened to old-fashioned love and commitment?

yes, that's a shallow view too - this guy probably doesn't think love and commitment are possible out side of marriage too.

but marriage doesn't mean you MUST have kids.
and i don't see the problem with adoption.

There's always adoption if you want to bring up kids, even if you can't have them yourself with your partner. Can't understand why anyone would drop someone they loved simply they couldn't have any kids with them :confused:

Well - what about if your partner could have kids, but told you they never, ever wanted to have any? That's also an interesting question and for some the answer may be different ...

I'd have to know why they didn't want kids. This might actualy put me off thinking about it, I'm quirte a motherly kind of person, I can't understand why someone would choose to never have children.

Hi. Can you qualify WHO it was said that to you, just in case people think it was me. Personally I think whoever DID say that to you was out of line.

To be honest, children are the last thing on my mind at the moment.
