There's a whole heap of backstory to mine and DH's "shall we/sharn't we" discussions around having DC2 which have been going on for about 12 months now but the other night DH told me that he definitely does not want another baby.
I always knew it was me who wanted DC2 more than him but I never thought he'd absolutely say no. Over the last 12 months he's chopped and changed his opinions, sent mixed messages, generally leaving me clueless as to what he really wants, but the other night he made it quite clear that another baby isn't what he wants.
I was so upset and still am. When he told me I held back the tears but I have since cried on him twice. We've had mini fights about it too.
I know that he's well within his rights to not want another child, his feelings are just as valid as my feelings of wanting another, but I'm still struggling with the finality of it.
I have accepted his decision because I know there's not much else I can do, but I don't know how to move on from it.
It feels like the white elephant in the room.
Has anybody else been in this position?
