Unsure if this is the right topic to post in?
My husband has strong feelings about sticking with 2 children.
I understand and respect that. I am so incredibly grateful for the 2 beautiful children we do have but there is a part of me that feels like I can’t let go of having a 3rd. Of course I’m not dissatisfied with what we have I just don’t want to move past this phase of my life.
How do I talk to him about this?
We either don’t have a 3rd or we do. Will one resent the other, whatever the decision is?

Maybe the two of you should talk about what your reasoning is? Like, are his reasons mainly financial? Either about current budgeting, or in the future (higher education, etc.) Did he grow up in a two-child house and you're used to more siblings? Sounds like the two of you should talk more to see where the other is coming from, and maybe you can come to an agreement you're both happy with.
