1. Having Kids
“Whether or not to have a baby may seem like a simple conversation to have as you get serious in a relationship. ‘I want kids. Do you want kids?’ But, sometimes it’s not that simple. There are definitely times when people’s decisions about whether or not to have kids (or when to have them) changes, and that can put tremendous strain on the relationship. For instance, if a couple moves into marriage believing they will remain childfree by choice, and a few years later, one of their perspectives changes, that can be a make-or-break argument for that marriage. For the partner who still does not want kids, it can feel like a betrayal of trust that their partner has now changed their agreement. To the partner who changed their mind, it can feel oppressing to stay in a marriage with a partner who would not want to have a child with them and ‘deprive’ them of that life choice.”—Colleen Mullen, Psy.
