I want to be a mum

[jojoe]

Ive been with my partner for 3 years,I am 26 and she is 28, we have been through alot and love each other very much.I feel I have done everything in my life I want to and feel all there is left to do is to be a mother, as being a gay couple anyway it is going to be difficult but my partner has said she would like to have children but not at this particular moment in time. I dont know what to really do as i REALLY HAVE THIS BURNING DESIRE and it is really getting to me. what sould I do?

keep open discussion s going with your partner.

Wait another year (at least) then see if you feel the same, you're both still young so there's plenty of time for kids. Go out, have fun, start saving (kids cost) enjoy the freedom whilst you have it!

If you still feel the same in a year or so then talk through the options!!

Good luck!

I would advise as the others here - give it some time, frustrating as it may be. Ulimately you will both have to assess what your priorities are, and if you really love each other as much as you suggest the wait will be worth it, patience being the virtue that it is! If you have kids when one of you is really not ready you could be risking a lot - everything's much more complicated when kids are involved. I am of the opinion that there are no guarantees in life, and the best you can do is decide wisely, weigh up everything. After all, you're only 26! Take care not to make hasty decisions that you later regret.

Maybe it would be an idea to find other things you want to do too, because kids grow up and it doesn't take long. What will you want to do then?
