We have ds 13months. Not so long ago dh decided that we could have another. So we planned when to start TTC, we talked about names etc.
I have a diagnosis of Bipolar, so I started coming off meds. Dh says I started getting jumpy etc. Then the spending review and he says we can't afford it.
He says that having ds nearly ended our relationship and was a massive mental strain on both of us. He says he doesn't want to do all that again.
I can't deal with it. I don't believe only children are disadvantaged or anything, but I don't feel we are a family yet. I can't get rid of this need, and think I will resent him.
I also feel like it is my fault. If I had coped better when ds was teeny, if I idn't have Bipolar then we could have another.
How do i deal with this?
