Reply #66: Oh My God! A woman doesn't want kids! STOP THE PRESSES

[Heddi]

Jesus.

I guess I don't really give two shits about them or their relationship or whether they wanted kids or didn't or whatever...but you know, people, alot of these kinds of conflicts can be avoided if they're discussed PRE-MARRIAGE....

Of course, that doesn't negate the fact that minds can change during time, and I find it insulting that the "reporter" in this story (whether his/her own commentary, or the commentary of the 'pal') would use the "didn't want to fuck up her sexy body" excuse ---because you know, ALL women who don't have kids are TOTALLY not having kids because it will mess up their bodies... :eyes:

Sigh. I wish for the day when Reproductive Choices are realized to be just that---CHOICES. She has just as much right to NOT want a kid as he has to WANT one. Unfortunately (or not really, since I don't care about them or their marriage), many marriages end over this. As a woman, I'd never want to be forced to have a child just to please my mate, or to be forced not to have a child to please my mate.

Such things happen.

Why isn't there a story about my neighbors who are getting a divorce? Certainly their lives are just as compelling as these pesudo-celebrities, no? Plus, neither of my neighbors have a 13.5 million dollar house. They'll be splitting the resale value of the Vanagon and arguing for the next 5 years over visitation rights with their dogs.
