Hello everyone...this is my first post and could do with some advice.
I'm 23 and my OH is 22, we have been together for nearly 4 years, only just out of university and making our way in the world BUT we seem to want totally different things and I don't know whether to stay and hope he changes his mind in a few years or leave in search of someone who shares my hopes.
I really want to get married...not now but in the next few years and more than getting married I want to have children, I'm very broody...it is not a good time for us to start a family and I want to establish a career for myself first but it is very important to me that I have children in my late 20s. I love my OH but he says he doesn't believe in marriage and doesn't have any desire to have children at the moment and obviously doesn't know if that will change.
If I stay in the hope he will change his mind how long do I wait? I feel confused and don't want to give up on the things I want in my life.
