Wow. You are tough. Your "prenuptual" agreement assumes that lives, feelings and needs never change. If your wife just tosses around the idea of having a baby, that's one thing. If she has a heartfelt need to be a mother, that's different. I guess the question is, would you reconsider fatherhood if it meant a great deal to your wife?
If your wife is feeling that primal drive to have a baby, all prior agreements are invalid. Life changes. I'm not at all suggesting that you should relent and father a child when, by your own admission, you would likely resent the child forever. What I'm saying is that your situation could be more complicated than you ever imagined.
For some women, having a baby is fundamental. The thought of growing old without children and grandchildren may leave some women with an emptyness that no husband can fill.
Just something to think about.
