    10 Reasons not to have children (as written by a mother)

    Looks like not caring about your weight or health is one of the many benefits of having children... THREE of those reasons to have kids involved food (oh yeah, "gorging on chocolate" sounds fantastic :eek: ). I may be reading a bit too far into it, but I'm actually quite disgusted by the idea of...

    Why does it upset you if you catch your SO checking out another person?

    I agree with you and Steelerbred! :) I don't care how "instinctive" and "normal" it is for guys (and girls) to check out other people...I personally don't believe it's appropriate. Even if it's just a quick glance/up and down look rather than intensive staring, and therefore not actually...

    Tubal ligation vs. vasectomy

    Hopefully you won't have too much trouble! :hug: I know that's what I'm worried about - being able to actually find a doctor willing to sterilize either Ron or me. We have to get it done before we get married, and that means finding someone who will do it when we're both about 24. [I know...

    Kids?

    No kids for me.

    Are men really happier??

    Haha, umm...no, the idea will not growing on me. And I did meet the right kinda guy, and he's just as childfree as I am. :D I know things change, but this choice isn't going to be one of them! ;)

    Are men really happier??

    I'm a woman and I have to say that I'm content keeping "giving birth" in the list of things I will not experience..."awesome" or otherwise. :eek: :P

    Is a wife refusing a husband sex a form of abuse?

    You are aware that the motive for the vast majority of rapes/sexual offenses has to do with exerting power over the victim and other issues having absolutely nothing to do with "getting some", right? I mean...I agree with Mskedi, it's absurd to say that male sexual "needs" > female sexual...

    Fight with my girlfriend over Christian Theology and righteousness

    Not to speak for ChildofGod1586, but I believe what she thought you meant by "She should listen to what I have to say" is that your girlfriend should OBEY what you say...meaning that she should do whatever you say. I think what you actually meant was that your girlfriend should take what you say...

    What kind of friends do you have?

    I'm the only one in my group of friends that is Childfree. (Well...one of my closest friends often makes comments about how gross pregnancy is, but I'm fairly certain she does want kids, haha). I'm hoping that I will meet new people in college who feel the way I do, and also hoping that Ron and...

    Tubal ligation vs. vasectomy

    Ron and I have decided that he will get a vasectomy. I'm looking into the Essure as well though. Ron has said he doesn't want me getting ANY form of surgery done because of potential risks, but if the Essure seems to be more safe than a basic tubal, I may consider it. I'm not sure what will...

    BC Options

    I know how you feel. I'm still way too young to even HOPE to find a doctor who would sterilize me. I was excited when I first read about IUDs, because they're effective for so long and yet doctors are much more willing to provide them for younger women as they are not permanent. But then I found...

    Fight with my girlfriend over Christian Theology and righteousness

    Yeah, I was going to type out a nice long response, but then I read Imperial's post...I don't think there is anything that I could add to that, other than to say that I agree with everything he said.:thumbsup:

    porn

    DanceDepartment: You have a good point in both of your responses, but unfortunately from what I've found while reading about pornography addictions, it doesn't make a difference if the man is also having sex. (Referring to your comment that he will realize that sex > porn). Most men who are...

    What do you say??

    I don't dodge the question, because I'm quite outspoken and personal questions like that, even coming from friends/family make me slightly, ah confrontational. If the topic comes up, I generally just laugh and say that I'm not going to be having kids. Sometimes that's enough for people...

    Show off your boyfriend/girlfriend

    canadiancarebear: Aww, thank you so much! :) The Princess Bride: That's a nice picture! You guys were pretty close to where I live too - I live about 20 minutes away from Gettysburg (and it's one of my favorite places because I'm a history nerd...heh). Do you live nearby or were you just...
