Hi. New here so pls forgive any silly mistakes. Could really do with someone to talk to.
It's probably something you hear every day. My girl is coming up on 2 and I really want to start trying for another. My husband also wants to but is out of work and we've no idea when he'll find another job. He's fully capable of working but is looking for the 'right' job rather than just taking what's around. He is determined to get a job before we start even trying.
I'd want to spend a good chunk of time with #2 and get to really know it so just popping one out and returning to work isn't an option, and we certainly can't afford to run the family on maternity pay!
I guess what I'm coming to is that even while my head knows we can't do it, I still can't help but feel that if something did happen we'd find a way to make it work. It's not going away, I've been like this for months and it's only getting more urgent. It's starting to affect the physical relationship between us as I'm beginning to feel there's little point in playing around if I'm not going to get a baby out of it.
Heart on sleeve here. Anyone else been through this? Do I keep doing the supportive wife thing or is there something more pro-active I can be trying? I'm only 31 so it's not a time issue but I did always want a large family.
