Babies?

Right I can’t go into all the details as there’s too much but basically me and my partner have a baby together and we agreed we wanted another one in 2-4 years and try for the opposite sex, however over the months of our current baby our relationship has broken down and I will take a lot of blame for that as my partner feels neglected and unloved so the other day he broke up with me.
The thing is I thought we’d be professional about the second baby situation and promise to have another baby no matter the situation which he seemed to agree to before as he stated he wanted his children to be full blood but now he’s not so sure on that as he said “what if I have a new girlfriend?”.
However he said there is possibility of us getting back together just not right now we need to work on us separately (we’re each other’s first love and took each other’s virginity sorry tmi)
The thing is I’m thinking about a second baby now I may sound stupid but if we’re not getting back together for definite then I think having another baby as soon as possible would be the best situation so we have our second child sorted and we can parent equally and not effect the other due to not having a relationship with each other, however if he does want to stay with me then the second baby will effect our relationship.

I hope I don’t sound too crazy I just like everything planned out and I really do love this man and would love to have another baby with him and no one else.

Can I please have some advice or input?
Thank you

not even going to bother commenting on this ridiculous situation but i had a relative who had 5 girls and 2 miscarriages before giving up on ‘trying’ for a boy...

I also have a friend who has 7 girls and miscarried a boy. She wasn’t ‘trying’ for a boy I don’t think but my point is when does one stop ‘trying’ for a particular sex?!

You are going down a mental route OP. Hope he made you see more sense.

What... the fuck? Don’t be so bloody daft op

This sounds so irresponsible. Why on Earth would you do this - and why would he? Be grateful for the child you currently have and manage your co-parenting with your Ex. with the one child you have already.
