I’m 33 years old. I’m fully invested in a happy (with its ups and downs, of course) marriage with my high-school sweetheart. We own a home in Southern California. We both work and make decent money. We have a 3-year old mutt named Zephyr who is a total handful. There is lots of love, stability, and security in our relationship. We always assumed we would be having kids by now, or at least be starting to plan for them. But, for some reason, we’re stuck.
The idea of having children sounds…. like something I’m not ready to deal with yet. And this is for a variety of reasons including but not limited to, the future of the planet, my body, money, my career, my sense of self, my independence, addressing a total lifestyle overhaul, selfishness, selflessness, and so many other complicated thoughts that invade my mind on almost a daily basis, is why I (we) haven’t been able to take the leap yet.
