...contemporary...

Things you shouldn't spring on me as I'm falling asleep, sometime in the middle of the night include the fact that you don't want children. The up side to this having been broached is that you're thinking long term, and I'm a feature attraction in that long term. The down side is that you don't want children.

Now see me thinking only of this, a predicament, and how to resolve?

You don't want kids.
I do.
But I also want you, forever if I am able.

I woke up several times last night, and thought about it into the morning. The amount of time this problem occupied shows how very much I do want children somewhere down the line. Maybe somewhere down that line, you'll change your mind? Somehow I don't think so.

Oh, this hurts.
