Dear Carolyn: I have decided for sure that I don't want a kid and will probably be looking into permanent birth control. We've been together for several years with the working assumption that kids are in the future. They are probably going to be shattered by this news and it might (50% chance) change the terms of our relationship. Minimize the opening remarks, too: "There's no good way to say this, so I'll just say it." Dear Carolyn: I'm unhappy with the life I'm living.
