inprint: My profile here say I want kids some day and it clearly say I want to meet a guy who wants kids. However, I only using this site for the forum now. On the paid site I joined I clearly say I want kids and want to meet guy who want kids. Obviously a lot of guys don't take much notice of what profiles say!
Ok I want to pose a question, it was a discussion I was having with a friend. Imagine this scenario you meet someone fall in love both want kids - get married and after a few years trying discover that its not gonna happen - that your partner is infertile, what do you do then do you move on to some one that can provide you with kids. Is your desire for kids more than your love for your partner?? Or how would you feel if it was you that was infertile and your partner / spouse left you because you couldnt give them the family they wanted ??????
Also if you cant have children at what point in a relationship do you bring it up ???? Its something that you only discover once you start trying ??????

It wouldn't ruin a relationship for me. I would prefer someone looking to 'start' as it were. Not a 'deal-breaker' by any means though.

I would want to adopt.
There is a big difference between staying in a serious relationship with someone you love when you later find out you/he can't have kids and starting a relationship that may or not become serious with someone who doesn't want kids.

Unfortunately its a stresser for some couples and has led to break ups but i don't think it should be a be all or end all situation. You fall in love for a reason, in sickness and in health, richer or poorer....having children i would class as being rich in life....money is secondary.......

No I think if both are on the same level playing pitch to begin with and both wants kids that is great..
equally there a people who dont want kids.. and if they agree on that thats fine...
personally I'd love kids.. but in rite relationship etc.. ah I'm a romantic
if it does not happen for one reason or another that different .. one would hope love conquers all .. I do anyhow .. soppie hey :)
tough to know how everyone would handle suituations given...
but I do think its good to have an idea.. if you both want the same things outa life IMO..
Having kids is a deal breaker..sry.. I have a strong mothering instinct that wont be denied..haha.. When I was younger I absolutely didn't want kids but after I grew up, saw more of the world and met the kids my friends had..I realized how much I wanted one and how good I was at it. I was ositively terrified to touch one but when I had to...my heart just melted.. "OMG, this just feels so right."
