He wants children but I dont

We are married for 6 yrs now. I dont want to have a baby but he is insisiting. Becoming a mother is something I never wished for... what can I do? Im afraid he might say yrs later that I deprived him of being a father...I dont want that...

I think you'll find it is the greatest adventure you've ever had...

@SomeMichGuy You are literally trying to talk her into something she has clearly stated she doesn't want. If my answer was glib, yours is insensitive.

@SomeMichGuy I know it might be so nurishing and pleasant to be a mom, but I simply dont want to become one

@RosaMarie Yours ignores the couple. It's a them. That's a sensitivity not found in your answer.

@Foxygirl33 No, thank you for sharing this really hard moment. The change of your emotions as you describe your journey from 6 years ago is palpable and very raw, honest, real. I truly wish you and your husband the best as you work through this.
