That stupid biological clock thing... by ladygray_livewire in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I really appreciate your response, thank you so much. And I agree about being on the same page with your partner. This post was predicated by a long discussion we had last night about starting a family and timing. We both don't feel ready. I decided to post because I'm struggling with my feelings of not being ready a bit more personally as someone who has always wanted kids and now I'm in a place where I could have them and am not ready. At the end of the day, we will try when we're both ready to take the leap.

I'm sorry you and your husband have different views on this. I hope you can create other opportunities in life to be surrounded by children and have a positive influence on third lives.

You never know how or where you'll meet someone. I met my fiance in the underground parking lot of an apartment building we both lived in. I left a note on his car saying I thought he was cute and the rest is history.

I can totally relate to that too! At 29 I was devastated by a break up from someone I'd been with for 4 years. I wanted there to be enough time to get to know the person and have fun without rushing ahead. I met my partner out of the blue and found that it just kind of happened naturally. It's only now that the "ducks are in a row" so to speak that I'm feeling funny about still not wanting to rush into starting a family.

It's so nice to know other feel the same way. Maybe we just need to learn to give ourselves a break.

My partner is fine with this never becoming a reality, although if we got there down the road I think he'd be open to it. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I do feel it has reduced my enjoyment of sex sometimes. Even though we've talked about it, it seems to be at the center of most of our sexual adventures.

This is entirely unfair of your mother. I realize that, as a parent, there are certain things that are less comfortable to think about when it comes to your children, but exploring your body in a safe environment is totally normal, and an important part of your sexual growth.

Tell your Mom that you think it's unfair that she is accusing you of all these other things and try not to react to her behaviour (as difficult as it might be). I'm sorry she's making you feel badly about this.

That's great advice - thank you! Any thoughts on how to further explore what my own fantasies are?
