My DH is a lovely man, but can be quite radical in simple in his approaches to issues.
He does want to have kids, as myself, but of course says we can't until I can do certain things that I have made anxiety limit me and are not able to do.
This is fine, I agree completely. If I can't do x things, you can't have a child, its simple and logical.
However, he many a times doesn't understand why I go on about having kids, when I can't have them at this moment, as he is very about the present and little about the future.
So, last night, I went on for 1/2 hour non-stop about why women are like we are, going from mother and animal instinct to the fact that men and women want sex is because we are built that way so the human race will survive. I went on to explain how since a woman gets her first period, we are all hormones, and every month is about that "egg". That women want it so much that sometimes it drives over the bridge of madness to go and rob a child. I went on and on and on, hardly stopping for breath, only stopping to say: I just don't want you to think its some silly whim because we want to go out and by booties, or that we want a child because "the woman next door has one so me too" (he never has said that by the way). He had to go bed very shortly after that, as he gets up really early, so I will keep all posted to see if he understood me a bit better, or not at all.
