If your partner didn't want kids...

...could you still be with them? Obviously if you don't want kids too then you'll be on the same wavelength but I think I'm right in assuming that most people do.

If right now told me they don't want kids I'd still be like ugh wtf why but I wouldn't be like ooo IT'S OVER YOU DON'T WANT KIDS... because I'm 16 and it isn't really a deciding factor me right now. However I do want a family like as young as possible (thinking 23/4ish, no later than 28) I'm so like excited about being able to have a family lol as well as being career driven so if someone told me no and it was a serious relationship I probs would try my hardest to convince them and if it doesn't work then it is 100% over. Same with them wanting to wait ageeees until like 30/40 no ty I'm not being the uncool mum at the school gates picking up their child

Yup. As I grow older the idea of kids becomes less appealing. Also the fact with how much they cost - there's bigger priorities at the moment, so we might not even get around to it.

personally I dont really mind but I think anyone with strong opinions for or against would sort of scare me off

but the only way I would have a kid with someone is if we were in a position to support a family

if we were not and she couldnt understand that and wanted kids regardless I wouldn't put up with it

Not sure. Right now I don't really want any children because of age and what I want to do, but I think as I settle down in life it'd become something that I want. A family, a life etc.
If he told me that he didn't want kids by then, it might be questionable. For now, it's cool.

I would want children, certainly.

I would want children. So yes, if they were totally against it, I would be saying goodbye.

I do want children but I think I'd be okay with it. I'd just keep putting all my love into pets instead as I plan on having a big brood of those :D

I do want children but it's still relatively early in life in this day and age to even be a consideration in a relationship. It's not a deciding factor but I would expect rational logical reasoning for not wanting them. Would just have animals if she didn't want/couldn't have kids.

If they didn't want children, I'd marry them.

I don't want children so it would only be music to my ears :P

I personally don't want kids, and I make that well aware at the start of all my relationships. Right now I def don't want any as I'm only 18, but in the future who knows it may change!

I would want kids eventually, if they said later on in life i'd be cool with that. I wouldn't want kids atm.

I want to start my own little family for sure one day. I'd probably be real upset but stick by them for however long I can

You'd prob just abuse them like your pets and boyfriend WINO

Right now if I was seeing someone and they said they didn't want kids it wouldn't matter to me really since I'm nowhere near ready for kids anyway... I do want them in the future THOUSANDS OF THEM but there are lots of things to get through before that happens. My first "girlfriend" (like when we were 1-2, not an actual romantic attachment lol) just gave birth last night and ahhhhhhhhhh it's so tiny and red

I wouldn't want kids until I was financially stable so not wanting children for a while is fine with me. But if they were still dead set against starting a family in 10 years' time I would have to walk away. I wouldn't be getting any younger to find someone else and we clearly just aren't on the same path in life. No point in sticking around.

I don't particularly want children so yeah we'd be similar. My parents want me to have kids though.

l want kids but if she doesnt want too, might persuade her or opt for ivf or sth

when all else fails ill adopt

I would be overcome with joy.
