My husband doesn't want anymore children

[Kara344]

Hello all. I find myself in a situation I didn't expect to find myself in and with no one to talk to on the subject. My husband doesn't want anymore children and if I'm being honest I really do 💔
I hated being an only child as a child and I don't much like it as an adult. For me, it's been a very lonely experience and at times really hard. I'm not saying siblings are built in best friends because they aren't but there are benefits to them (someone to play with, someone to help with parents, someone to understand what it's like to have the parents you have).

I'm heartbroken and I have made my husband aware of this. It's going to take time for me to come around to this idea but ultimately I'd never force a baby on someone who doesn't want one - I don't think a baby is a maybe thing.

Can anyone share their experiences or give me an idea on how to cope with this change in my life plan? Please be gentle as I'm very emotional on the subject (maybe pathetic I know! But I just need time to adjust).

And you come across as a judgy person and know it all.

I posted for the OP, shared my experience. I have no desire to find out what YOU think. You know absolutely nothing about me so keep your opinion formed after reading about 5 sentences to yourself.

You didn’t answer the question, though, did you?

Do you believe you are somehow owed or entitled to another child? That your DH is expected to jump and perform when you snap your fingers?

I have certainly formed and will freely express my opinion on the basis of your expletive laden and aggressive posts. I doubt the OP needs your help.

Of course you have!

I am not wasting any more time on someone who feels they know what is going on in my life and in my relationship based on a few sentences. And even judges whether my experience will or will not help OP. Gosh you are so clever and important aren't you? Maybe you should focus on yourself and perhaps you will not be such insufferable know it all.
