Resent my DH for not wanting a third child

[BingBong36]

Since my second DC was born in 2011 I have been wanting another baby as I always wanted 3 children and I just do not feel my family is complete. My husband has always said no way. This has caused arguments, tears, heartache.

The last couple if months I have just given in, told him ok fine no more babies ??

I feel so bloody resentful, it eats me up. I'll be 37 soon and soon the decision will be taken out of my hands.

My question is, has anyone been in the same boat and how do I get over this without resentment? I am really trying.

Thank you

I

We could afford another. It may be a little stretched, but we could do it.

Perhaps your husband is thinking that why stretch further so you can fulfil your wish of another child, when it could negatively impact your other children. I know it's hard when you have this yearning, but this would be the biggy for me. If having another baby meant my other children would have to go without I couldn't do it.

I see my yearning for another child as a biological urge ..not practical or logical in any way , ( I don't think all women have this) since our babies have grown up into children life has opened up in new ways and is good . I will always have maternal urges role on the menopause:-).
A third child would have been a huge strain in many ways .
