We stopped trying a year ago and now he hates the subject even being brought up.

So I’ve been with my partner a while now. At first we were all up for trying, he brought it up first as a I have a child from a previous relationship. He’s 2 now and has a handful of setbacks -seizures, possible autism and he doesn’t speak at all. I can see my partner getting frustrated but trying his hardest with my little boy. But lately he wants nothing to do with talking about kids. I’ve brought it up sporadically the last few months and I just get hit with “not today”. Our sex life is fine so it’s not us it’s him not wanting to try. He said 6 months ago we’ll try in a year and he recently mentioned that these things can’t be planned. I’m a visual. I need to see a time line with progress but he just doesn’t want to talk about it ever. It hurts but I’m so sad it’s turned into this over night. We stopped trying because I felt too much pressure and I said we could just stop trying but carry on and have fun. A week later he insisted we stopped all together and started being safe. My heart is broken and I feel like I’ve done something wrong.

@Littlesunshine2 I didnt want to read and run but just wanted to send some comfort to you.

My DH gets v stressed when talking about anything about the future. He was the same when we got married. I'm a planner (it's my job) so I like lists and plans and like you I like dates!

Leave him to settle, make plans in your own mind but try not to mention it to him, he'll come around if you'd already decided you wanted babies together.

Good luck xx

It's still early days though , unless you're approaching late 30s or 40.
Early days in the relationship stakes too.
Together 2ish years at most and you stopped trying a year ago?
What's the rush?
