My partner and I have been together for 9 yrs. I have a 10yr Son from a previous marraige and my partner loves him to death. However he has told me he doesnt want any children of his own. He has never been married and has no children. I am devestated as I long for another child. I have talked to him and told him how serious I am his answer is no. Is he playing me as a fool, we are finanically stable we have no other issues and only fight about this topic. I need to understand why he doesnt want to have a child with me. I tell him this could be the end of us, he just laughs and tells me your stuck with me for ever. Someone help me make sense out of this.

Look, some people just don't kids, some do. It's the kind of discussion you need to have before becoming so deeply committed. If you really feel that it "could be the end of us" then the problem is yours, not his. You already have a son, so it's not as if you've never known what it is to birth a child.

Sometimes things like unhappy childhoods make people adverse to the idea of reproducing, so try talking to him about that. Some people just feel there are too many people in the world as it is and there isn't a real cultural need for more of them - the earth's overflowing as it is.
