I’m wondering whether anyone has had a similar experience to me. We’ve got 2 DC and ever since the second one was born I’ve been really broody. But also flip-flopping on whether I want a third due to practicalities. DH refused to express an opinion, saying that I don’t know what I want so he doesn’t want to get into it.
A couple of weeks ago, on a long car ride which was just the two of us so no distractions etc, I said I’d like a third and to start trying in the next few months. He again refused to engage. I’m bringing it up often as I want a discussion and conclusion, even if that’s “no bloody way, end of story”. He’s very relaxed but has used the phrase “taking by the throat”. Not good. Probably IABU.
However I’m now not using contraception because my latest attempt was giving me 12 day cycles, and no sex works better for me than bleeding more than 1 week in 2! Which means that we’ve graduated to using the pull-out method, which as we all know... is not a method.
Works for me, as I’ll probably get my baby. And I made it clear to him that it was his choice to carry on knowingly. But this seems like a very silly situation. The advice I would give myself is pretty obvious (insist on condoms, wait for him to be ready to talk), but I’m wondering if anyone has had experience of getting their partner to engage in a discussion under similar circumstances?
