I met a guy who was ~ 45 or so. He had been with his (then ex-) partner for 15+ years. She had wanted kids, and he kept saying "next year", "not ready yet", etc. Finally, at the age of 43 she gave him an ultimatum to make up his mind, and he replied "nah... don't want kids". She dumped him right away. I met her too a little bit later, and boy, the resentment was strong with her. I couldn't blame her. With things like kids, please don't be wishy-washy; make up your mind and set specific goals, timelines, etc. Kids are an expensive investment of both money and time.
