Pregnant with twin, husband wants an abortion but I don't

I have 3 kids from previous relationship, husband has 2 (who don't live with us). We decided we don't want to have more kids, but now I am pregnant I am not sure I want to go through with termination (the last one left me feeling traumatised and guilty). My options at the moment:

1- terminate the pregnancy and resent my husband for it (especially since it's a twin pregnancy)

2- continue with the pregnancy and my husband will resent me for it, or worse leave me and I end up a single mum to 5 kids

So currently, the way I see it, both my options suck for one of us (obviously as a woman I am in more of a disadvantage). Any one was in a similar situation and their marriage survived either decision?

Why does anyone have sex without using contraception if they don’t want a pregnancy?

Hi OP, just wondering how you're doing. Hoping that your husband has stepped up, is supporting you and getting that bloody vasectomy.

I have three kids too, third was unplanned and almost broke my marriage. Tbh I wouldn't have minded a fourth, but that would definitely have meant single-parenting.... Reproductive 'choices' are the pits, and women have so much more skin in the game than men. But then not having a choice is even worse. Take careFlowers
