Met an old school friend again after 20 years last May. He's a year older than me and never married. We've been meeting up a bit since May, but only became 'exclusive' in Sept. We're different religions but that doesn't seem to be a problem. However, his mum is very anti single mums. We got on very well when I was friendly with him at school and for a couple of years afterwards when we hung around together. However, now she feels sinlgle mums aresa looking for a meal ticket, or a father figure, and are 'used goods' apparently. I have my own house and have no debts, work part-time, study etc. The kids dad is invoIved, it has been difficult in the past, but not now as he has a new partner. I discussed several times with my 'partner' whether he wanted kids, as I don't want any more, and tried to persuade him to go out with someone else who wanted more children. He says he never wanted or wants chldren, but his mum thinks he should find someone who is able to have children.
I don't want this to escalate as I feel it would impact on our relationship, but I also don't want my partner to regret not having children - maybe this is what his mum is worried about.
Comments appreciated.
