I satisfied my fiancé (32M) online about 2 years back. We had a lot in typical, consisting of not desiring kids. He proposed 4 months earlier.
The other night, we went to his moms and dad’s home for supper. His mom turned up with a pregnancy subject, and explained that she desires a grandchild quickly. Each time, the topic of kids come up, I typically alter it rapidly.
