Hi all,
Having a bit of trouble at home. My wife is absolutely desperate for a 2nd child, but i am not so keen. We have a healthy, happy 4 yr old daughter who is my absolute world, i feel we have a really good family dynamic BUT my wife isn't happy and wants more.
To set the scene, I earn a decent wage but most of that disappears as soon as it comes in, we don't have holidays, we live in a 2.5 bed bungalow which is a money pit - in other words we just about get by. My wife is pretty insulated from the finances, i cover all the bills and payments etc and doesn't really understand that things are tight and another child won't improve things, especially since we'd probably have to move given the house isn't set up for a family!
In essence we've hit a bit of a crossroads, every time this topic is brought up we end up in an argument, she's always crying and blaming me for ruining our chance of having a happy family, we had sex the other day when apparently it was her time (found out after) and then when she didn't get pregnant she got angry with me ... which i feel is really low.
I need some advice, i feel like our relationship is on the brink - is anyone in the same position, or has been in this position?
Thanks in advance (and happy f'ing new year!)
