Well about three weeks ago, one my female friends and I were talking about never wanting babies (neither does she) and how the world is too overcrowded that some people really need to stop reproducing. Then we made several more jokes about all the things a child would put as through such as waking up in the middle of the right, cleaning vomit, looking older than our ages, etc.

What I didn't know is my bf of 1 yr overheard everything we said, he told me the following week. He has started becoming kind of quiet and slightly distant ever since. He said he was bothered by it esp about me saying I never want kids and the comment about people stop having kids. Usually aren't guys suppose to be happy about that? Yet he seems kind of hurt.

I might never want kids after all but is he suppose to get hurt by that?

Only if he thought you two might have a future.

Yes, men want kids too. Otherwise this world would be full of nothing but babymamas.

What I didn't know until the following week my bf of 1 yr told me me overheard everything we said. He has started becoming kind of quiet and slightly distant ever since. He said he was bothered by it esp about me saying I never want kids and the comment about people stop having kids. Usually aren't guys suppose to be happy about that? Yet he seems kind of hurt.

Check page 19390 of your user manual, I do believe the answer is on that page.

Honestly, how are we supposed to know?? Why don't you ask him how he feels about your comments/conversation?

I would think if he's been around for a year that you would know where he stands on the kids thing......


Yes, some men really do want to have kids. Really!

I asked him how he feels and he isn't over it. He doesn't understand why I never want kids and why I was taking about them in that manner. He said he would understand if I wanted kids later on but not now. He hasn't been acting the same.

I really never seen a guy hurt because his gf never wants kids.

Ok, I admit it he wasn't suppose to overhear that. When we were getting to know each other he did told me about wanting kids in the future, not now but later on. I replied with an ''Oh ok, yeah sort of same here''.

I really thought he wasn't serious about it.

(I think) the majority of men want a kid/s at some point (I know I do) and if I found out my girlfriend suddenly felt strongly about not wanting any kid/s, I would reconsider my relationship.

This is not rocket science. He is not on the same page with you with regard to kids. Sounds like he wants them and he's disapointed in your attitude towards children. Do you really expect him to be all butterflies and rainbows over this? I'm sure at this point he's rethinking the relationship.
