Partner keeps asking if I want more children

[OutofSyncGirl]

He’s asked me about four times. But he then says ‘it’s not a leading question’. If he keeps asking though doesn’t it seem that he wants this? We both already have children.

So do you reply "no"?

Yes, if you reply no every time and he still keeps asking, I think that implies he wants more.

My answer has been that I’m worried I’m too old now (39) and he’s even older...

Well, I guess that's a slightly vague answer, so maybe that's why he keeps asking. Next time, just say no if that's what you mean!

Maybe he wants to make sure you DON'T want anymore

I wondered that too Smiley but he keeps on about how fertile he thinks I am which I’ve never had with any other person.

Jesus it's an easy question.... do you want more children?

If you don’t want more children then the answer is no. No this time no the next time he asks
(And make sure your contraception is in place )

You say you are 39 and he is older. Do you think he wants to 'prove' to the outside world his own virility is still there by getting you pregnant?

Just answer his question, for crying out loud, with a solid answer. Yes or no. As Basil Fawlty said "It's not a proposition from Wittgenstein!"

What is wrong with people! You're a couple! Have a straight bloody conversation with each other!!! (And 39 with him being older doesn't need to be a barrier if the answer is yes).

I'm autistic so communication isn't my strong point.

Do you want more or do you not know yourself?

I'm not 100% sure. A while back I was going to book a sterilisation. If I was with someone who really wanted another child I would possibly consider it.

Have you asked him if he wants more?
