US EditionDear Abby: I Need to Know if the Man I’m Dating Is OK with Not Having Kids
A woman worries her younger partner’s friends pushing him toward younger women for fatherhood may threaten their relationship before its future is defined.
- The woman, almost 50, met a man a decade younger a few years after her divorce, but their relationship is uncertain as he says he could live without children.
- Matchmaking by his friends is happening while the couple's undefined status causes strain, as his friends keep trying to fix him up with younger women because he'd be a good dad.
- She fears seeing him with someone else and doubts her heart could handle it, while her partner makes her feel beautiful and desirable despite past criticisms.

- Having been with her first 'everything' guy for over two decades, she fears ongoing entanglements as he remains friends with his exes, imagining she might stay part of his life even if not romantically involved.
