So, rather than talk it how it is, infertile (temporary or not), it is easier to codify the situation by saying 'won't have' rather than 'can't have'.Fem'

Very good post. I have said for years I didn't want children, now I can look at it and say that it was fear of being a bad mother like mine. I would like children, however I will not have any out of wedlock. If it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen.
