Men who care zero about having children

Men who care zero about having children

By Miss Kes 

Like women, it is a given for some men to want to have children, but for some, it is neither here nor there. We asked several men why children are not a must for them in their relationships, and this is what they had to say.

Gary:

It means nothing to me because having children doesn’t mean you’re not living your best life so I don’t put that pressure on my wife. If it happens I will be happy, and if not, oh well, move along.

Sheldon:

After I saw my wife going through a miscarriage, I saw that I was really pressuring her and that was because I was being pressured by my family and my friends who already had children and felt I needed that to complete my life. But seeing her going through that drama, I realised that my life and marriage were indeed complete and if we never have, we have each other and children are is simply not a must.

Damon:

I am simply not interested in having children. I just prefer a simple life and that is it. Children bring too many complications and I see that most happy couples after having children always split and I simply want less drama in my life.

Jermaine:

I don’t think having children validates me as a man and my relationship. I don’t think it is a must for me simply because of the life I want – to travel and all that. My wife is okay with me not being interested in having children because she too shares the same perspective.

Levart:

I am not pushing for children because it is not a priority for me. If my wife gets pregnant, I will be happy, and if she doesn’t, I will still be happy and it is simply because I see how children kill romance and break up marriages and relationships.
