  • Being able to change her mind DEPENDS upon her age and, quite frankly, her in general. Some people don't want kids and that never changes (a good celebrity example off the top of my head is Bill Maher). Some people, however, change their mind as they get older.

    The truth of the matter is though, IF she decides later in life (assuming she's under 35) to have kids, that decision has to come from her alone. It cannot come from you nagging her and her going "okay, let's do it I guess". Children are a huge commitment and demand an extraordinary amount of time and energy from their parents. If she's not 100% into it by her own whim, it will be a disaster.

    Relationships, good relationships, have ended between perfectly compatible people at older ages for this specific reason.
