Childfree woman married a man who wants to be a dad. Their marriage is breaking.?

Consider this scenario:


A man is crazily in love with his girlfriend. He proposes as soon as they are done with medical college. Her only condition at the time of proposal was: Children will not be involved. Although he would have liked a few, he loved her too much to let her go. Three years down the road: Both are full-time doctors and make plenty of money, take vacations often, go on dates all the time, are very engaged in volunteer work and have the perfect life. But family, friends, collegues are now asking THE question. Husband's feelings of being a dad are reignited. Everyone is pestering the wife about her ';selfishness';, about how she is depriving everyone of the joy of children, about how she should take time off her career and start trying for a family, and how she'll regret it later. But the wife had made this decision when she was a teen. Her reasons are:


1. Severe tokophobia. She has terrible fear of pregnancy and childbirth. She cannot stand the idea of pregnancy and theChildfree woman married a man who wants to be a dad. Their marriage is breaking.?
This can be a real ';deal-breaker';. I have seen this one slit many a happy couple.





If I had the chance, I would have snatched her up in a second because I am hardcore child-free.





I suggest they join ';No Kidding'; to make some child-free friends that won't pester him with bingo's. Unfortunately outside of child-free circles tend to ask rude questions.Childfree woman married a man who wants to be a dad. Their marriage is breaking.?
You are sweet (I am sure I am old enough to be your father) :)

I knew I was child-free when I was about 15. I did something about it when I was 21. That was 20 years ago. Since then I have traveled and earned many stamps in my passport.

What? Are you writing a book?
If she dislikes children and doesn't want to be a mother, it's a good thing she's decided not to have children. Having children in the picture, whether it be by birth or adoption, would compromise their well being. If she's not going to be happy with the children, then the children will be deprived of a mother's love. I think the husband knew what he was getting into before he got into it. He should deal with it, or find someone else that will want the same thing in life. Good luck.
If she doesn't want to have a child, she won't....she has been very clear about that from the first.





He's an idiot for marrying on one assumption; that sooner or later he could ';talk her into'; haviing a child.





He is very immature and needs to go away..find himself a nice young breeder. Should be easy for him if he's a doctor.





Leave the woman alone.....
No one ruined the marriage. These people were incompatible from the start. Totally, completely incompatible. Dating someone who *might* want to have kids is totally different from dating someone who is 100% sure they don't want any and actually have a phobia for childbirth/pregnancy. The man should have let her go early on and she should have realized that his desire for children was not something that he could just make go away. I really think that this marriage is over. Sorry.
Adoption might take care of most of the issues and since the child's not blood related you wouldnt have to breast feed or get pregnant.
