I'm so glad I had my son - it's been the best experience of my life. But I also have friends who are divorced and in a bad co-parenting situation - I think that today, maybe partners need to discuss what happens to eventual kids in the case of a divorce, or maybe even agree on that in a pre-nuptial agreement.

I can absolutely see where having no children would be preferable to an on-going ugly co-parenting situation. Thankfully, above everything else I may say about my ex, we do have a very workable co-parenting relationship. Thank you for sharing your situation Melanie.

I left my first husband at 30, after 10 1/2 years of marriage, with no children. I have always been incredibly grateful that there were no children from that marriage because it would have been a very, very ugly coparenting situation. In the end, I chose not to have children and have never regretted that decision. But it is interesting to see other perspectives. Melanie Mandy,

It’s very interesting to get this perspective. I left my first husband at 30, after 10 1/2 years of marriage, with no children. I have always been incredibly grateful that there were no children from that marriage because it would have been a very, very ugly coparenting situation.
