Marriages don't last. When I meet a guy, the first question I ask myself is: is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whenever I date a guy, I think, 'Is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with?'
To be honest, marriage doesn't scare me and that, it's just once you've been together for so long, if you haven't got any kids it's just a big expensive day out for everyone else to enjoy, isn't it?
For women of a certain age, how do you meet a guy, fall in love, and decide he's the right man to have children with? Your clock's ticking, you're looking at him, and it's a crazy, pressure-filled experience.
It's a different experience to be with your kids when your spouse isn't around.
While I've spent a lot of quality time with my children, perhaps it's not been enough.
I have relationships. I date. But it takes a lot to say I'm going to be married and have children.
I have two kids, a career, and a man that takes a lot of my attention and time.
I think that, as with marriage, you just know when it's time to have kids.
We'll sort of get over the marriage first and then maybe look at the kids. But obviously we want a family so we'll have to start thinking about that.
My mum told me, 'At that moment when you know you can't do both, the marriage and the kids, choose the marriage because you're going to be spending your whole lives together, so you have to put a lot of work and attention into the relationship.'
