We have been together for over 10 years now. We have lived together for 6 in a home that we both own. We live together as a married couple, although we are not legally. We are very much in love and have an amazing relationship. I am 35 and he is 44. At the risk of sounding pathetic, I am desparte to have a baby and do not know how to go on knowing I may never be a mother. What are your thoughts and have any of you been in this situation?

I realize you've been together a very long time - but if having a child is something you really want to do, the two of you may need to go your seperate ways. Having a baby is something you usually can't change someone's mind about - and being a parent is such a huge thing that if he has expressed to you that he doesn't want to - you shouldn't really pressure him. You'll end up with an unhappy dad, which makes an unhappy baby! It's hard, I know, because you mut love him a great deal, but I can say there is no feeling like being a mother, and if having a child is important to you, you're going to have to make a choice. Don't settle, and forever regret your decision. You'll both end up resenting eachother if you aren't careful.
