How to Approach the Conversation?
Hi, hope yall are all doing well. I just wanted to ask how yall approached the conversation of not wanting children with your partner? For context, they had asked me a couple months ago to think about having kids around 29, as I had never given it much thought (I'm 19, so it wasn't at the forefront of my mind) . Needless to say, I definitely thought about it; I think I've probably watched and read nearly everything there is on the topic (and done much of my own introspection). I have a variety of reasons as to why I don't want a child, very enriching hobbies that are quite spontaneous and time intensive, likely demanding career (engineering student at the moment), not wanting to be stuck somewhere I've lived my whole life, yada yada. And now that I've come to this conclusion, I'm scared to death to bring it up to my gf. I'm trying to figure out the very best way to set her up for success when I tell her (aka, not super stressed prior, etc) but I just don't know how to even bring it up. Any advice would be appreciated and hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day.
