So... me and my boyfriend is living together and we are fighting with each other b/c i want to have a kid and he acts like he doesn't want to have a kid. Right now, b/c we are fighting, hes sleeping in the other bedroom b/c he knows if he trys to get the same bed with me that i will flip b/c of the way he is acting. What can we do to fix this problem
You need to have a civil conversation about this. Is he just 'acting' like he doesn't want a kid, or has he told you that? If he isn't ready to have a child with you, then don't press it. You both need to be emotionally ready for this, having a kid is a big deal and not something that should be decided upon impulse.
Wait until you have both calmed down, and sit him down and communicate. I think it would be best to wait until tomorrow because you both should feel better after you've gotten some sleep.

Have you two talked about it though? Without getting upset and having to leave the room? It would be a good idea to make sure that you're seeing eye to eye about this.

You need to both make sure you keep your emotions in check. If you one of you finds that you're starting to get mad, then just walk away for a little bit and continue when you've calmed down. You won't get anywhere if you both are just yelling at each other whenever you have a problem. You need to be able to communicate well in order for your relationship to work out.
