Periagoge
Scenario

When your partner questions a mutual decision about not having children

My partner and I decided years ago we didn't want kids, and we've been solid about it until recently when they started making comments about how 'final' our choice feels and whether we should freeze eggs 'just in case.' I don't want to reopen something we already closed, but I also don't want them to feel like I'm shutting down a conversation they need to have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that major life decisions require ongoing consent, not just initial agreement.
