The Child You Won't Have
Your partner wants a child. You don't, or you don't enough, and you've been saying 'not yet' for four years. There's a window and both of you know roughly when it closes. Whatever happens next, one of you gives up something they won't get back, and you'll stay together either way.

- Have you told them the truth or the softer version?
- If you had the child to keep them, what would you resent by year three?
- Which decision could you live beside them with?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
