I'm married with one child. We always said we wanted 2 children. Our daughter is almost 2 and I feel the same intense urge to get on with conceiving as I did just before we had her. At the beginning of this year we agreed to start trying for a baby in autumn. He's now saying he doesn't want to. He doesn't know if he ever wants to.
What am I supposed to do? I can't force him to have another child. I love him and want to be with him but how can I be if he won't have any more children? I'm getting stressed because I don't want an enormous age gap between my children (and I'm not getting any younger).
If your advice is to be thankful for the child I have or focus on her, please believe me when I say and I am extremely thankful and never take a moment of our time together for granted. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to work like that; I can't stop my longing for another child by simply telling myself I already have one.
