Talking about kids is part of "normal" communication in
coupledom.
I think TS and his gf really needs to sit down and talk about their
goals and expectations.
Issues that are important to any marriage must be discussed and
compromised and agreed upon.
Many things may change during the marriage, but at least they must
know what to expect from each other.
Issues like religion, financial arrangements, housings, PIL,
childrens, maids, etc.
If a couple cannot even communicate properly before marriage, then
how to live together in the long term ?
We are each unique individuals from various backgrounds and
families.
There will be many conflicts that arises from the
differences.
