First off, let me address over half of the comments in this thread. I'd like to address that you shouldn't immediately take their word for it being a red flag. People are complicated and address desires and feelings in a numerous amount of manners, and branding his behaviour as a red flag is somewhat shortsighted.
Look. The man wants a baby. He jokes around about it, because he thinks you're not comfortable with it and maybe he wants to warm you up to the idea.
That doesn't mean he's trying to 'baby trap' or 'manipulate' you in any way. That's extremely paranoid and please don't draw those conclusions. It simply means he doesn't really know how to express it.
I believe you and your partner should discuss this in a more serious setting, tell him you're completely fine listening to what he wants and there's no reason to be embarrassed. Ask him what he really wants. He can open up to you.
Thank you for this, it was very insightful. You're perhaps right about him not knowing how to express his feelings regarding the matter.
I think what I need to do about this whole situation is just have an in-depth conversation about it and see where he's at. Because we are pretty open with each other. I guess I've just been slightly worried about this.
My boyfriend keeps "joking" that he wants to impregnate me?
