It's OK NoM, you kind of get used to it. We both want children (he has 2 from a previous relationship, he wanted lots but his ex only wanted 2 and made him have the snip), but its all a bit too late for us realistically. I looked into adopting and made a few enquiries but with our age and the fact that I am the main earner (not him) the SWs will not even consider us. So sad. We could offer a child a brilliant home and he might be an idiot, but he is a great dad.
