How do you resolve this situation? I don't want more kids immediately, but feel that I don't want to rule it out. At the moment I feel like it would be nice to have another one or two, when our youngest starts school. DP doesn't want any more. Ever. He adores the two we have, but says the early years are too tiring, although I did all the night feeds with both !
I know there's no solution to this, but I feel a bit resentful that everytime anyone mentions the posibility of us having any more, he will immediately say "no, we definitely aren't" although he knows I would like more. I realise I am being a bit unreasonable, but I do feel dissappointed.
Has anyone else had this disagreement with their dp and how did you resolve it?!

Sorry, meant I don't think it's unreasonable to resent having your fertility vetoed...

My dh said he only wanted one but I was desperate for another. Halfway through second pregnancy he turned round and said he didnt want dd (now 13months). Several arguments later we discovered its not babies he doesnt like but me when pregnant. He definately only agreed to number two to make me happy. He adores her and wouldnt change her for the world but he made a huge sacrifice for me as he constantly reminds me.
