Pregnant and DH doesnt want a baby anymore

I'm 32 weeks and DH has told me that he doesnt feel like he wants another baby anymore and that we've maybe made a mistake.
He's given no reason for this, our kids are doing fine, works going fine, we have the money, time and space to be having another child and is tonight going away for 2 and half weeks for work saying we can talk about it when he gets back as he needs to think.

No idea what I'm supposed to do now or what I'm supposed to say to that

I wondered about the work trip too.

It seems significant timing-wise I think. Hopefully I'm overthinking it.

Is he depressed?

This doesn't sound right.

I'd be suspicious of an OW at work. If he's reached midlife crisis territory he could be realising that crush/flirtation he's been having at work is never going to happen because of the baby.

You say he doesn't have opportunity and yet he's away for over two weeks. That's a big opportunity right there.

Hopefully he's just a garden variety arse hole and not a cheating one but a personality transplant often occurs when they've spotted an OW they fancy.

Whatever is going through his head OP doesn't justify hurting you like this when you're 32 weeks pregnant.

He drops this bomb on you and walks away??!! That's not love, it's fucking cruel. What would happen if the stress made you ill or sent you into premature labour??

Unforgivable in my book. He'd have his bags waiting outside the door on his return.

You'd be surprised how opportunistic and risk-taking people can be when having affairs. There's always time.
