Dear Mimi Knows – I don’t want to be a mother

Dear Mimi,

 

I am a 36 years old woman married to a 29 years old man.

We have been married for two years. Before we got married, I told my husband I did not want to have any children as I had a bad childhood and do not want to have any children because the world is such an evil place. He agreed and even said he was not interested in children either.

Recently his family have been agitating for a child and now my husband is saying he would like us to have at least one child.  I love my husband but I am very sure I do not want to be a mother.

What should I do?

–       Don’t want to be a mother

 

 

Dear Don’t want to be a mother,

 

Thank you for writing in. This is a serious dilemma that should be handled with tact as you do not want to end your marriage. Since you are sure you do not want to be a mother and your husband knew this before marriage, I would suggest counseling on how to resolve this. If you are open to a compromise there are several options available that may help resolve this without putting you through a pregnancy you do not want. I wish you well.

 

-Love,

Mimi
