According to Bernard Geberowicz, a seasoned psychiatrist and author of The Couple Facing the Arrival of the Child: Overcoming the Baby-Clash (Albin Michel).
Many men grapple with this decision due to a deep-seated fear of commitment, which evokes feelings of constraint and lost freedom. Above all, welcoming a child represents an irreversible step that forces them to confront their own sense of responsibility. Sometimes, the pressure from their partner intensifies this dilemma, leading them to over-intellectualize and rationalize. In searching for reasons to have a child, they often uncover even more arguments against it. Additionally, a common misconception persists—that a baby's arrival spells the end of the couple's intimacy, with the mother prioritizing the child and sidelining her partner.
