I’ll start. I’m a 37-year-old woman, and I’ve always been indifferent about having children. I love peace and quiet, but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind having kids if my partner really wanted them.

I’ve been with my husband for 13 years now and married for 11. I’m his second (and final) wife. He has three kids with his first wife. She was supportive of him taking a second wife, with just one request: no more children. That solidified my decision not to have kids.

    It sounds like she is totally fine with that and there’s no reason to assume he isn’t either. It’s a “request”, clearly rooted in some desire to still be responsible co-parents who are dedicated to their children even though their marriage has ended.

    Don’t look for drama, life is hard enough as is.
