Thread: I'm ready, but my husband's not

I am at a loss these days and I don't really know how to handle it. I am going to be 28 in 2 months; my husband and I have been married for 4.5 years and have been together for 11.5 years. I am so ready for a baby that it's all I think about from the time I wake up until I go to bed, but my husband is not. I have a great job and make good money, we have a nice 2 bedroom apartment, a great family support and a great marriage. My husband is a jazz musician and will be finishing up his Masters degree in December and I would like to start trying at the end of the summer, but he wants to wait until a year from this June to start trying. One problem is that we eventually want 4 kids and to START trying at the age of 29 seems a bit rediculous to me, I feel like I should have started a year ago and want nothing more these days. I think he is scared to have to give up his freedom and have to share me with someone else, but I feel like I have spent the last 12 years on his timeline for things and now that I ache for this, he won't come on to my timeline. I feel as though I will bust if I have to wait until June of 2008 to start the process - what do I do!? Thanks for any insight.

My Fiance And I Are In The Same Boat. We Were Together In High School And The Split Up Because My Parents Didnt Want Us Dating And Then Two Years Later Got Back Together. We Have A Home And A Dog Together. We Are Getting Married In 6 Months And I Want A Baby Bad. Ive Wanted One For A While And He Absolutely Refuses. He Even Went So Far As To Ask Me That If We Had An Accident To "have It Taken Care Of" I Can Do That Though. I Want One So Bad.
