Hi guys I need your help. What would you do?

Basically long story short I have been with my partner over a year, I'm 26 and he's 37. He has a teenage daughter already and I have no children. When we first got together he told me he would like to have more kids at some point in the future, but recently I bought the topic up again and he told me he has no intention of having any more children and doesn't remember saying otherwise.

Now I'm in a really difficult situation as I have never been bothered about having children before, but since I've been with him all of a sudden I've got really broody and can't stop thinking about trying for a baby. I basically have 2 choices, either stay with the man I love and deal with the fact I likely won't have a family of my own, or leave and try and find another man to father my children. I don't want to do this as I don't want to panic and settle for someone who isn't right just because I want children.

What would you do?

Perhaps you could discuss the issue further and find out why your partner is now saying he doesn't want children. There may be something you could agree that would alleviate any concerns he has. If he flatly refuses to have children with you I guess you are faced with making the horrible choice of whether your current partner means more to you than having children. If you decide having children is more important then you should probably move away from the relationship quickly rather than drag it on any longer.
