Hello.

I've never really visited the subreddit, so I'm not 100% sure on protocol.

My girlfriend and I had a small fight last sunday, and I'm not sure how to reason things out properly.

She wants kids. I'm not very keen on kids due to some mental health stuff and not feeling financially capable to take on kids. 

She gets really sad. I try to discuss things with her since I know she wants kids, but I'm kinda not good with confrontation, so when she gets aggressive or pleading, I back down.

I mentioned my reservations about having kids, and I remember her tone of voice changing to a pleading one, saying that it was the two of us raising a kid, and that parents would help, etc.

Anyway, the kids thing isn't the main topic, but I wanted to ask more specifically how to tell if my girlfriend is manipulating me into giving into what she wants.

Thinking back, she's done the whole voice change business multiple times, including regarding some very important decisions, so I feel like I need to be properly equiipped to discuss these issues with her rationally and calmly.

Do you have tips on discussing sensitive issues like this?
