to be hurt

ok I have been broody for baby number 2 for a few months and decided that it was time to talk to DP about the situatuion, so last month I raised the subject of starting to TTC and DP agreed that we could start trying (DS is 18 months)
I had been getting excited and ready and DP was looking at prams and saying "lets get this one"
Then we get to prime BD time and I could tell that DP was erm holding back during the deed (sorry tmi)
So I said to him "you dont really want to have a 2nd do you?"
and he said no not yet
Im a little upset that we cant start straight away and kinda expected him to say he wanted to wait when I raised the subject but im hurt that he "led me on" for a month
He said that he agreed to make me happy-but he cant seem to understand that he has really hurt me by not being honest
We have now agreed to start trying in august but I just feel really hurt and a bit worried that when august comes he will change his mind again
AIBU to feel like this

no, yanbu to feel hurt. I would too, but at least he's being honest with you now (better late than never, I suppose). Tell him how you feel and how worried you are about him doing it again in August and see what he says.

If it makes you feel any better, somebody I sort of know is planning to have the snip and not tell his wife, who is hoping for a 3rd baby i'm horrified but keeping my nose OUT.

He won;t be able to hide the snip from his wife unless he books a 2 week holiday away from her at the same time- it all gets terribly bruised and requires bandaging (of sorts)..... What an idiot!

ready- what would be different about August? Sounds like you need a bit of a heart to heart (but I'd be careful about putting too much pressure on him as it tends to make people even more determined not to iyswim).

Good. I'm glad. I hope the Doc tells him taht and he reconsiders. If not, I might punch him in the cock

"No darling I know it's bruised but I haven't had a vasectomy. MamaG punched me in the cock"

BACK TO OP (sorry ready )

lol at "bandageing", mental picture not nice!!!!

yurt1 · 15/01/2008 09:17

I hope the doctor doesn't tell him and he has to explain to his wife why his nuts are purple and he can't walk!

readyfornum2 · 15/01/2008 09:23

he wants to wait until august so that when the new baby arrives DS would start to quailfy for the free nursery sessions.
I understand the reasons I just feel hurt that for a whole month he left me to get excited and even joined in with the pram talk-it feels as though he was messing with my head cos he had no intention of following through (scuse the pun lol)

at that bloke!
DP wont ever consider a snip but I think I would know if he got one!!

you would if the bruising was like this (note- do not click if squeamish)

MamaG · 15/01/2008 12:05

aw ready, it does sound sensible. and the prams will still be for sale in august

yurt, if thats a cock, I can't click on it, work would block it and KNOW I'd tried to look

yurt1 · 15/01/2008 12:06

PMSL - they couldn't possibly imagine you were looking at it for any reason other than 'research' though.

He hasn't got much girth, has he
