Please could someone weigh in on my feelings / give me some rational responses.
My husband recently separated from me - just a few weeks ago. I was pretty against children for a lot of our relationship (6 years) mostly as had a miserable childhood and thought I’d be a crap mother, with poor parenting skills and we have very little family support, I felt I could sink into PND quite easily (history of depression).
BUT I always assumed my husband would convince me & we would end up doing it later. I thought he was sure he’d convince me too - he’s said that before also. He loves children. I’m 32 now. Since the split I see babies everywhere and feel sad and that maybe I really did want and expect that with him after all.
Does this mean I want children after all? Does that mean I need to think f better hurry up and find someone else before time runs out! I’ve been told to cut my losses and run, that I need to get on with it now.
Also worried I may be infertile as we used no protection for 5 years (withdrawal method only).
I think I would like a family with the right support in place.
