Hello,

My husband and I have one 20month old son. I am feeling very broody at times but my husband doesn't want anymore kids. I can't accept this decision and don't know how to cope it. I can't get it off my mind. He is pretty adamant that he doesn't want anymore even when our son is older. But tje thought of this breaks my heart. Can anyone help or give any advice? Would really appreciate it. Thanks

Has he given a reason? I knew I wanted two and I think you need to find out why- fair enough he has a choice but so do you.

I think you need to ask why.

Had you both always hoped to have more? Is this a recent announcement?

Pretty sad, but your options are to discuss and accept this, or end the relationship and seek a partner who wants DC.

Did he always only want one? Or is this because it's harder/ different to what he thought it would be like?

Thank you for your replies. Before we had kids we said we wanted more than one. Once we had our son we both found it so hard and stressful, with lack of sleep and everything else ladies go through after giving birth we just argued alot even as he got a little older. My husband thinks if we have another one it could potentially ruin our relationship and split us up. I do understand what he is saying but I still live in hope that he will change his mind and things will be different.
