It could be, we'll have to see. We've been together a little over a year now, so it'll definitely be a deeper discussion next year.
I'm somewhat like you, I might be open to it with very explicit stipulations. I think COVID and certain things this year just started to change my mindset. Having a child is a big deal, if I was ever to consider it, both of us need to have our ducks in a row, fully.
We'll see if it's a deal breaker, or if with stipulations filled, perhaps I could be more open to it. It's a tough one that I haven't had to think about in my prior relationship of 11 years, so this one is new to me.
