“She originally said she didn’t want kids. And I originally told her I was completely fine with that. But that was a lie. I guess I just thought we’d grow into the idea. She also told me that she never wanted to get married—and she changed her mind about that. So I thought she'd change her mind about a child too. Honestly, I would be disappointed if we didn’t have one. I think something magic happens when you open your heart to another living thing. But I don’t want her to make a decision for my sake. So maybe the solution is just to be disappointed.”
“Maybe I’m just selfish. But I value our time together. And I want to continue spending time on ourselves. Plus I just don’t feel very maternal. I’m afraid that I’ll convince myself for his sake, and I’ll will myself to believe that I want a child, but then I won’t feel that connection. But he will. And then it will be the two of them-- and me.”
I can understand, at the end of the day, life u compromise a bit to not only keep yourself happy but people you love too.

This is what happens when people lie in order to cram the glass slipper on the foot of the one they have in front of them instead of searching a bit more for the one who wants the same things in life. If you lied to her about it, then she is not to blame in any way shape or form. There's a huge difference between changing one's mind about marriage and the awesome responsibility of parenthood.
