hi I have posted here about this before and things are a bit better now as I was able to talk to my DH about this but I would like to hear from other people about what they think about the dilemma I am in.
So we have a lovely DD who is nearly 3 years old. My DH never wanted to a child and he agreed to have one with me (for me) which was great. However I am really broody and I always imagined having 2 kids. By the way we got married really young so this is not something we discussed before.
Anyway I had a chat with him last week. and he said he doesn't want another child, his reasons are he is tried, doesn't think he can go through the baby years again, additional stress, we have no family near by to help out. We both work and it will be really stressful to add another child.
I agree about all of these above but I still can't help but feel broody and long for another child.
I think that he might (only might) agree to have another child maybe in 2 years time but I don't know whether this will be a good decision as what if we have a high needs child, or disabled and he ends up resenting me, put strain in our relationship.
I would like to hear from people from similar situation. I really don't want to risk what we have at the moment. Has anyone had another child where your other half wasn't into it and agreed to have a child because you want it? how did it work? I am sure once the baby is here, he will love the baby and everything be ok?
