I wanted to send some your way hun, it can all be very confusing at times especially when we feel clucky.
I agree with a lot of what limeslice has said hun.
Believe me I wanted children a long time ago before DH and I were married (we have been together since I was 16) but he was not ready and wanted to make sure we had a very steady environment before doing any of that.
I can say hun I am glad we have waited until we did to start TTC, and although that wanting does not go away, I know if we had TTC before DH was ready that pressure would have put a big strain on our relationship.
I look at all we have achieved to we both have good stable jobs now, I was able to work up in my career to a position at a young age I never thought I would get, we were able to save and pay for our own wedding a year after that buy our own home and we have just been able to enjoy each others company do lots of small things together take small holidays go out together. I just look back at what we have done and know we are so much better for having waited. I know had we had a baby young we would not have achieved all of this and be in the great position we are now, we may have still got married brought a house etc but it would have taken a lot longer and been even more stressful.
Upon saying all of that, it is my own personal experience and everyone is different and you need to look at your own situation and make your decisions, I agree with limeslice that perhaps sit down and talk to Rex about your future together, things you both want to achieve and look at when he might want to look at a family, it will help give you direction and feel like your moving towards something and although the answers may not be the ones you want now you can both comprimise and work it all out.
You probably need to look at how big a family you want to have as well, one baby can be costly enough but if you were to start a family now and you want to have children close together could you support two or more children.
You have a tough decision to make hun and I hpe things work out for you.
