My broodiness is starting to ruin my relationship.

[Lovestosing]

I have three DC's, (6, 5 and 3) and for almost three years now I have been broody for another child. We always said we'd have three, and DH has no desire to have another one, so I will have to accept that I will never have another one. I can see his viewpoint completely, for the first time in almost seven years we're finally out of the baby/toddler fog and our lives are easier, but a big part of me doesn't want an easier life. It makes no sense to have another one, but why do I get weepy whenever I find out someone is pregnant?
DH is really fed up of it and doesn't want to talk about it anymore. I am so frustrated with myself, I'm lucky to have three DC's already and I should be satisfied with my lot. I really want to stop wanting another one, the question is, how?

Sounds like you might benefit from some expert help in understanding what you're feeling and why. People who have outwardly great lives and who should be happy with their lot but are horribly sad are often suffering from depression, for example. It could be you are grieving for the passing of a particular phase of your life - the end of the child-bearing phase hits some people harder than others. It could be that you only feel your life has purpose when you're in the baby/toddler fog and that you need something purposeful with which to replace it. You could try talking to your GP and seeing what they suggest. Good luck
