My husband and I have been together for over 8 years, and we just celebrated our first wedding anniversary . We have been inundated with comments from family and friends about when we’re going to have a baby. Truthfully, I’ve always had mixed feelings about motherhood, mostly because my own relationship with my mother was very complicated, and I have gynae issues that are known for causing fertility problems. I suffered a miscarriage (after not even knowing I was pregnant) back in December, and ever since, I’ve been snappy with people asking when we plan on having our first. It was a sensitive subject to say the least.
We finally came to a conclusion: we don’t want kids.
There’s a lot of components that went into making that decision, but I’m so relieved we have both agreed that the childfree path is for us.
Both feeling very content about it and not afraid to tell those pressuring us that it simply isn’t for us :)
