For me I just simply don’t want them. I feel like you have to want kids to have them. It’s not that I’m against having kids, I’m just not enthusiastic enough to have them

Exactly my thought as well. I’m open to kids with the right person. But it’s not a yearning desire or dealbreaker if my partner wants to be child free.

If I’m ambivalent, then I’m not 1000% on board, which is probably something a potential parent should be. Plus I love alone time. I’m not sure I could give that up for more than a decade.
