I've been with my husband 8 years, married 6. We have been trying for a baby for 7 years and 5 years ago found out that we would need IVF due to problems with both of us. I was told I would need to loose weight first, because of my depression it has taken me until now to get my mind focused and since the end of January I've lost almost 2 stone.
A month ago we looked after our 9 month old nephew for 4 days and day after we took him home my husband turned around and said he longer wants a child ever. He says that having our nephew made him realise how dependant on your time they are and how you have to constantly watch them. I told him that was a selfish reason.
Since then my husband says we should split up, that my choices are be with him and accept I will never have a child or leave and find someone else.
I don't want anyone else, when I said my marriage vows I meant them.
IVF may not even work for us and if that's the case in time I would come to terms with that but for him to take away my chance at it is heart breaking.
The one thing I've ever wanted is to be a mum, when I was 12 my mum just didn't bother with my youngest brother and I practically raised him.
I love my husband so much but already I can feel myself starting to resent him.
I'm almost 32 and feel my window of motherhood is slowly closing
I feel so lost.
