13. Hi Act_of_Reparation - I'm very sorry to hear that you and your wife are subjected to this.

When my sister married my brother-in-law, they decided to wait several years before starting their family, and were constantly asked: "Why aren't you pregnant, yet? Don't you want kids?"

Their choice to wait should have been respected, just as you and your wife's choice not to have children should be respected.

Wishing you well and peace.

Tim
