OK. I'm in a weird position many males don't complain about. I've been married to my wife for almost four years. I'm 34 and she's 32. I want kids and she still doesn't. I haven't bugged her for them since I figure she'll come around and don't want to b*tch abou the issue since it makes me look pathetic and weak.
She's told me she has no interest in having children. She's never had an interest and she told me (even before we married) that she knows she's not meant to have kids and that she feels fine going through life without feeling the "societal pressure" to have them. She gets sick of people asking her when she wants to have kids, and makes jokes about it.
I can't help but feel that something is wrong with her. A woman her age typically wants kids at her age. She says she loves our life (well her life) the way it is and that she's never be ready to be so tied to a kid.. She already has an M.A degree and has a career...so why the heck won't she settle down already.
Here's the thing. She told me even before we were married that she flat-out doesn't want kids and that she should consider that before we get married. I just said okay at the time because I figure a typical woman changes her mind once she gets older...but she's not budging and still stands firm by her issue. Now I feel angry, but I figure since she told me upfront about the issue that I have no say in the issue anymore.
Who's right and do I have the right to be angry now?

Ugh. Did you see the comments that said "There's always that one accident"? That's just super. I want to take off my shoe and beat them with it.

Nothing's wrong with her, you fucker - there's something wrong with YOU because you don't even regard your wife's feelings and then act shocked when she hasn't changed her mind like you wanted her to.

In today's world, if he was the one who didn't want kids and she did, he'd still be in the wrong. Men just can't win these days.
