"Ashton keeps telling her that Demi is the problem," a friend said. "However, Mila suspects it's just an excuse to keep the big questions about their relationship and where it's heading at bay, like getting married and starting a family. Ashton talks all the time about how he dreams of having a child with Mila, so she told him to forget about having a kid until Demi's a memory."

"Ashton says he's not about to let Demi rob him in this divorce," said another source. "But he's worth more than $100 million, and Mila knows he would barely feel the pinch. He tells Mila not to worry, they're going to be married and start a family. But he's dragged his heels so much with the divorce she's not sure she can take him at his word."
