Ok so I'm new to all this so bare with me. My partner and I have been together for 8 years now. We had never seriously discussed children, he has a child already from previous so I assumed he was ok with more kids. About 5years ago we bought our first home, I was so excited to start our life I came off my pill hoping I would fall pregnant within months.. OH was well aware we wernt protected and said he'd be 'ok' if we fell pregnant. 3years later no joy, every period getting more concerned. I visited the drs and after many tests it was confirmed I don't ovulate, I was heartbroken. I was referred to fertility clinic where i was told i MAY conceive with clomid tablets. I detached myself from reality and threw myself into work (tried to ignore the truth) when i came to discuss my concerns with OH to my surprise he told me he doesn't want any more children. (He has spent the whole time we have been together telling me how brilliant I will be as a mum and always WHEN we have kids, not if. Even purchasing a 3bed house so we would have a nursery when the time came.So this threw me off my tracks.) It's now 2 years on and I'm loosing my mind, do i go and find love with somebody who wants the same as me and i risk losing my life i have built with him and never having children anyway? Who says the tablets will help me concieve? He doesn't have any real reason to not wanting more kids. He has one already, why would he not want me to feel that love? To experience being a parent? I'm so confused I feel like I could easily start to resent him! Please help guys...

Do you think the reality of it all hit him and he started to panic?
I'm sure you have but have you tried talking to him about all the positives of another child? How his child will get a sibling that they'll adore etc.

If he seriously doesn't want more, you'll have to decide whether your life with him is more important or having children.

I hope he changed his mind xx
