    well, could you give a bit more info?? how long have you been together and how old are you guys?
    guess it depends but marriage shouldnt be a proof of love in my opinion...now, bout children yes its a bit tricky and thats pretty much a downer.
    Broke up with my bf, or he did, and we still loved eachother so i can understand dilemas that have nothing to do with feelings..

    could give more of an opinion if you say a bit more tho.;)

    You're not going in the same direction and if this isn't nipped on the bud now, it'll cause an enormous problem later down the line and there'll be a lot more pain and suffering.

    Break up with him, it'll be painful in the short term but will save you in the long term.

    Depends on your age really imo. If you and your partner are 24 having this conversation, and you want kids but not for another 5 years or something, then it might well be worth sticking it out as people are well known to change their views on marraige and kids as they get older. I am currently 26 and have no intention real desire to get married and start a family, but then again its entirely possible I will feel very differently when Im 30.
