My boyfriend keeps "joking" that he wants to impregnate me?

  • Many men have a internal desire to impregnate a lady.

    When they talk about relationships they often speak of other things - and may even "intellectually" know and speak of not wanting a child. But they desire one.

    I'd discuss with him what he would would actually like to get you pregnant - and why. Ask him his true feelings - would it make him more satisfied or happy if he got you pregnant. If he's honest and you word the question right - the internal desire will come out.

    Then, the question is how do you feel about him and potentially having a child with him? How does he feel about preventing or pursuing his desire at this time.

    Also, is he a decent enough guy that you would like to continue for now - only you now know that you have to be responsible for birth control as he will "unintentionally" slip up things when he has a chance.

    These desires do not in themselves make him a bad person. A lot of men have them at some point in their lives.

    I wish you well with this,

    Perry

    • Thanks for this Perry. It was very insightful. I think i'll take on board your advice and instead of straight up asking him if it's a joke, be more intellectual about it and go about it a better way.

      I will definitely be responsible when it comes to birth control for sure and i'll keep my eye on what i'm doing and what he is doing. I don't believe for a second he is a bad person either so i agree with you on this.

      Thanks very much! :)
