What are your thoughts on a woman deciding she doesn't wanna be a mother?

Do remember this is typically a couples decision not just the woman’s. Take into account what your husband might want now or in 10 or 20 years. Many a marriage ended because they differed on the this decision.

@SecondMarge my boyfriend has no interest in being a father

And you are not certain? As long as you both know where the other stands. Just know a ton of women in their 30’s desperately want to have a child after saying they never would when they were younger.@WendyLopez43

@SecondMarge Her husband doesn't have to carry a baby inside him for 9 months. I get it, this should be something discussed between partners, perfectly before marriage. However, I think the woman gets to band the gavel on this one.

In that case it maybe the divorce court judge banging the final gavel. Certainly the woman can cast the tie breaking vote but hopefully she does so with full understanding.@SW-User

@SecondMarge She has the biggest burden to carry. Again this is something which should be discussed before they get married.

That was my point.@SW-User
