    Babies are tricky with the under-200-item lifestyle.

    I know. I told her I did not want kids. She said: "Let me think about it."

    A couple days later she broke up with me. We remained friends though.

    Ohhhhhh...ok. Then, that was that. Reproducing is a non negotiable, either you do it or you dont.

    She said she wanted two. She probably could have talked me into one, if I was allowed to be a stay-at-home dad. But she did not attempt to negotiate. It was two or no deal!
    That was back in 2013.

    Now there would be no negotiation for one and stay-at-home-dad status. I don't want to be a parent under any circumstance now.

    I did not ever really want kids. But I was slightly open to compromise before. But I am just too damn old now, and to be quite honest I rarely meet any women who would be good moms. But this woman I mentioned, she'd have been good. She is a quality woman.

    Sounds like time for a vasectomy. Then you can at the appropriate time relay that fact to a woman, and she will know she can't work away at you if she wants children deep down, or accidentally on purpose get pregnant if you are not taking care of birth control but she is.

    I had a tubal ligation when I did not want any more children.

    I agree with Yppej. My hubby did it for us when we decided 35 years ago that we did not want any kids. No mistakes then.
