Hi everyone.
I need some advice, I got married in 2017 and the following year my husband I had IVF treatment which lead to a pregnancy. Unfortunately I had a awful miscarriage at 10 weeks and went into a slight depression. My husband did not understand and felt isolated from me, he ended up having an affair soon after the miscarriage. He left me in at the start of 2019 to be with this other woman but it has not worked out well for them. Apparently she mentally abuses him but he is caught up in her manipulation and struggles to break free by not completely cutting all ties with her.
My question is I am 46 years old, no children and this is my second marriage but we are still separated. Would it be wrong for me to ask him to do IVF treatment as he also wants a child? We have his sperm sample still at the clinic so its easy. I am feeling lonely and this is pretty much my last chance for trying to have a family of my own. My close friends and family think I should divorce him and move on. But after what has happened I have low self esteem to start again and fear I will meet more time wasters in the future. Maybe its also desperation from my side to not loose him completely but i know he is no longer the man I once loved and married. There are pro's and cons to this situation but I wanted to get a feel if other people agree with my friends and family.
Thanks xx
