Do not make the mistake of assuming that because we’re women we’ll eventually want children. We aren’t kangaroos—this internal pouch isn’t one we all feel instinctively compelled to fill.

If a woman tells you she doesn’t want children, pretend she’s actually telling you she doesn’t want children. Don’t translate it in your head as, “I’m saying I don’t want them now, but I’m sure I’ll change my mind later.” She has no reason to lie to you, and if she’s told you she doesn’t want children, she’s already given it enough thought to make that declaration. So, assume she means it.

Do not make the mistake of assuming that because we’re women we’ll eventually want children. We aren’t kangaroos – this internal pouch isn’t one we all feel instinctively compelled to fill.
