yes, at the time when we met, I was battling depression, didn't know what path I wanted to go down careerwise, and was perpetually in flux. Since then, I have been depression-free for five years, and am happy with the path I'm on in terms of vocation. Financially we are still broke, but we have enou...

But a life well lived requires stepping onto paths of the unknown, and taking risks. Ask someone in their 90's what their regrets are and you won't hear a word about things tried and failed; you'll hear about all the things never tried. I couldn't agree more with everything you said, especially thi...

I want to thank everyone for their replies. When my husband and I decided to get married (and move overseas, but that's another story), our stance on it was that I was leaning towards not wanting kids, but I wasn't sure, and he was pretty sure he didn't want kids but that it was "negotiable."

He understands, intellectually, that having kids is an investment of time and energy (your return is the joy of that ...
