Would you try to have a baby?

What do you think of men or women who try to have a baby with their partner (wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend) even if their partner really doesn't want to have one??? Do you that's ever alright or justified?

I think that if this were to happen, (say they got pregnant) then there may be some resentment to wards the baby. If it were the woman not wanting another, yet becomming pregnant then I could easily see PDD being extreme. If it is the man in the anti baby role then I could easily see tension building and maybe even leaving. Worse yet maybe fail to connect/bond with the child or baby from feeling forced into it. I do not feel it is right @ all. You?

Yeah I agree with all of you. It's sets up a lot of issues and definitely makes it more likely to have resentment or post-partum depression. You do hear of lots of people who think doing this isn't that bad though. That's why I wanted to hear what you all thought.

If they are trying as a couple, then "yes" it's beautiful. But if someone is trying to get pregnant secretly, I think that's terrible. The news of the pregnancy will not automatically change the other person's mind and may even scare them away.

this is not at all good to have baby if both have not have the 'yes' to it. this is something you can not create pressure on someone. this is should be a mutual decision. if someone force to concive that is also kind of crime i believe. and if someone just want to have baby because his/her partner wants to have baby, then that is also not good, that is kind of compromisation, which is very bad in any relationship.

No, I don't think that's ok. It's not fair to either your partner, or the child involved.
