Your previous point was that if YOU were sterile you would not ask her to marry you because that would deny HER children. So my point was what would SHE have preferred? Would she rather have a life with you with no kids, or a life with someone else with kids?

My wife was very clear. She wanted ME. Kids were a side benefit. On the other hand, your questioning whether you would have married her if she was sterile makes you seeking a brood mare. And now you think maybe not. Or maybe. So then that questions is: do you love her for herself or her ability to give you kids? Is she merely a means to an end, or your true desire?

Be careful, she might read this someday.
