Youre six months into the relationship and you are fearful of having a grown up conversation???? This is a mighty important conversation and, lady, NOW is the time to have the baby talk-actually BEFORE you engaged in baby making activities...I mean you knew before you even entered intothis relationship that you had different wants so you made a poor decision when you pursued this man. At 38 it would seem you would have the maturity and wisdom and courage to address this issue with the nman you say you are in love with as opposed to your buddies. Grow up, initiate the conversation and part ways if you have differnt ideas. This is one of the deal breakers.
